What error messages? I've found "mencoder" (part of mplayer - available in the current CVS). to be very good at re-encoding VDR's recordings. I've only tried it with divx output, but according to the documentation it supports other output formats using ffmpeg's libavcodec. For example, to use two-pass encoding to re-encode the video to divx and copy the original MPEG audio, I use: mencoder -pass 1 -divxopts br=1500 -oac copy -pp 0x20000 001.vdr mencoder -pass 2 -divxopts br=1500 -oac copy -pp 0x20000 001.vdr The resulting quality is very similar to the original MPEG-2. If you want, you can also re-encode the audio to mp3. You need to follow the instructions available at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/encoding.html Dave. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
