Aieeee. If you're making DVDs then '-f 9' is absolutely the
wrong thing to use because it leaves out the NAV packets that
are needed.

The man page is wrong ;(
Looks like the mpeg2enc manpage hasn't been updated sufficiently.

Use -f 8.
There was a (thankfully brief) period when the new format (what is
now -f 9) was added but the roles were reversed (which broke
everyone's scripts of course). That was fixed (by leaving -f 8
as it had been and using 9 for the new format) but the manpage
was apparently not reverted.
At least we know folks are reading the manpages ;)

Typo. The default limit for both formats (DVD and DVD-like)
is 7500. For now rely on the usage summary (mpeg2enc -h) until
the manpage is repaired.
