Note that this is for a PAL DVD - if you want NTSC you need to change to -vf scale=720:480 and set the -ofps to "24/10001" or "30/10001" (the first for movies, second for tv shows)
But: the mpeg doesn't seem to scale right. My laptop display is 1680x1050, and hence the original dv output (4:3) has black edges on each side, but the converted mpeg plays "stretched", so that everybody looks fat!
You could try dropping the -aspect option from the mencoder command line and let mplayer calculate the aspect itself, it's normally pretty good at that. -- Calvin Walton -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
