I spent a few days a little while ago figuring out the best route. after trying the tovid scripts and getting nothing but out of A/V sync vob's I figured out the following command for ffmpeg: (this was after running the ".nuv" through ProjectX in TS mode. ffmpeg -i INFILE.ts -target dvd -hq -b 4656 -s 720x410 -padtop 34 -padbottom 36 -padcolor 000000 -acodec copy OYTU_FILE.mpg maybe it was the square pixel thing, but with out the padding the resulting dvd when played back on a 4:3 tv was squashed horizontally instead of letterboxed, so I added the letterbox manually. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
