Re: [CinCVS] Mpeg2 encoding

2006-08-10 Thread Dan Streetman
To calculate video and audio bitrates when trying to fit material onto DVD, I created this _very simple_ script. Its input is the total number of seconds of footage. It prints out the video rates with several common audio bitrates. Note that you should go at least slightly under the rate shown,

Graham,I think you do have to change the defaults for mpeg2video encoding to get any output. I agreed that setting the fixed bitrate should work. Fixed quantization doesn't seem to work.

I don't think that's the case. There are two ways to produce DVD compatible MPEG-2 output through Cinelerra. The easiest way is the mpeg2enc plugin. If you copied the mpeg2enc binary from /usr/bin to /usr/lib/cinelerra, you're almost there. You need to make sure that the file is named mpeg2enc.plu
