[FFmpeg-user] Command line to create mpeg ( or anything ) from testsrc

[Jim Shupert]

you may wish to review the docs
i think you will have greater success w something like

C:\bin>ffmpeg -i Path/mySrcFile -s 720x480 -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec mp2 path/myOutFile.mpg
( the above does not specify data rate )

-i is how you declare the input , -vf  for filters

C:\bin>ffmpeg -h
C:\bin>ffmpeg -formats
