This is far too old, please test current FFmpeg

the format that you want).

For a variety of reasons I want to install from repo. Looking at some other repos than the one I got this from I find:

2.2.4-67.el6

Does that sound current enough?

As for the container format, I am confused by your statement. MPG is the source file's format. It plays just fine in both MythTV and VLC and is what was captured from cable. Why is it unacceptable? The video is MPEG-2.


I went ahead an updated anyway. As Carl predicted, using the same command line, the error message changed to:

[mpeg @ 0x186ee20] ac3 in MPEG-1 system streams is not widely supported, consider using the vob or the dvd muxer to force a MPEG-2 program stream.

A little opaque but I tried changing the command line to:

$ ffmpeg -i SNL20141213.mpg -acodec ac3 -ab 384k -vcodec copy -t 0:20:00 -ss 0:5:00 -y SNL-split.vob

And sure enough, the resulting VOB file plays correctly, no error messages during output. AC-3 5.1 audio is intact.

Thanks for your help Carl.
