[MEncoder-users] Video bitrate 104857 kbps, video GOP is too long.

[Brian Keener]

That's what TMPGenc DVD Author reports when I try to add the file to a 
new project.

mencoder tv.avi -fps 30000/1001 -ofps 30000/1001 -of mpeg -oac lavc -ovc 
lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=7000:keyint=15 -vf 
harddup,hqdn3d,pp=md,scale=720:480 -mc 0 -o tvout.mpg

It's a 512x384 source file (odd size, I know), encoded with the above 
command line.  I can link to a short (1 second) encoded clip using those 
same parameters, if that would help.

Didn't seem to affect the operation of the disc at all, I just found it 
odd, and confusing.
