One place where you could be missing it is that you need an m2v
video file and an ac3 or PCM audio file from ffmpeg. In ffmpeg
there should be a "keep elementary streams" option. That's what you
need to get the separate files to feed to your DVD authorware.
Otherwise you just get a simple VIDEO_TS folder to burn onto a DVD-
R with no menus, just a single movie.
Another is that when you say that you get white video. I think you
may be missing the proper codecs or that there is a conflict
between a few. You should be able to decode most of those - ahem -
nefarious - avi files using the DivX labs "Fusion" codec. 3ivX has
been hit and miss for me as well as the DivX 5 codecs for OS X.
It looks straightforward to me, but it doesn't work :) ffmpegx plays
the thing fine, so I should not be missing anything, and I've loaded
the 3 codecs that ffmpeg asks about when you first run it...
source file:
mpeg4, yuv420p, 640x272, 25.00 fps
and I've tried 2 output formats:
.MOV mpeg-4:
ffmpeg mpeg4, 640x352, 1265 kbps, 25 fps, no crop
and DVD- mpeg4 (which got me the sound and vid folders, but black
movie)
ffmpeg mpeg2, 720x576, 4000 kbps, 25 fps, no crop
The audio file is there too, mp3, looks fine, plays fine.
Both of which formats, per the docs for ffmpegx, I should be able to
play from DVD player and burn with iDVD.
right? If not, what else should I try?
the source file is from www.starwreck.com
Last, do some research on videohelp.com's Mac video forum ( http://
www.videohelp.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9 )
It's just so trivial to do this on a PC. .sigh.
Thanks,
Brian
