[MEncoder-users] conversion to mpeg2 VideoDVD

[Andriy Babiy]

Hi all,

In order to convert some movie to the mpeg2 format, acceptable for 
authoring on VideoDVD, I use the following command line:

mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd \
-vf scale=720:352,expand=720:480,hqdn3d,harddup \
-af resample=48000:0:2 \
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:\
vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=9500:keyint=18:\
trell:mbd=2:precmp=2:subcmp=3:cmp=3:dia=6:predia=4:\
preme=2:cbp:mv0:vqmin=2:lmin=2:dc=11:vb_strategy=2:\
acodec=ac3:abitrate=96:aspect=16/9 -ofps 30000/1001 \
-o movie.mpg /usr/home/Movies/movie.mov

The resulting movie.mpg can be "dvdauthor'ed" to VideoDVD. I used it for a 
while, and played the DVDs on different standalone DVD players.
But one of DVD players plays those DVDs in green color. There's no other 
colors on the TV screen, just green. It looks much like B/W movie, but 
instead of grey I get green.
Can anyone advise me on how to resolve the problem? If it is important, I 
found that this DVD player doesn't accept DivX/Xvid, only MPEG-2; other 
players are capable of playing DivX/Xvid movies.

Thank you very much in advance!

Andriy
