Thanx a lot!!!
It does work :) :)

Reason I am transcoding into mpeg1 is because the apps that create the 
DVD format for playback on regular DVD's
take them way freaking too long to do the transcoding to mpeg1 (and that 
is what they do to every video I try to
convert to DVD using the dvd creation apps.
ffmpeg seems to do it a lot faster.
So, when is ue these apps and the input video is already in mpeg1 
format, they just proceed to create the
DVD format without transcoding.

Cheers,
