[Mjpeg-users] DVD safe limits

2003-08-15 Thread Florin Andrei
http://dvd.muddle.de/technology.html See the document above. According to it, it's safe to use any bitrate you like when creating a DVD, as long as the total (A + V) bitrate does not exceed 10.08MBit/s. Hence my previous question about the maximum bitrate accepted by mpeg2enc. In your

Hi! In your experience, is it safe (same meaning as above) to use variable bitrate? Yes. VBR is automatically set when using -q, right? What becomes then the meaning of -b parameter? Does it become the _maximum_ bitrate? Yes. This is mentioned in the docs :-) Alexei

[Mjpeg-users] MP2 and NTSC DVDs

2003-08-15 Thread Florin Andrei
I've heard that, in theory, NTSC DVDs are not supposed to use MP2 for audio, only either PCM or AC3. However, i've heard people claiming that they created NTSC DVDs with MP2 audio, and it works fine on most standalone players. What's your experience with that? I never heard of any such

I've made progress with this enough that I can capture a few minutes of video with Lavrec. I'm still dropping frames all over and it dies after a few minutes, but I remember seeing a whole bunch of stuff about this in the archives, so I will go look there. Thanks for the help, folks. Matthew
