[MEncoder-users] encoding multimedia files to dvd video

[Dave]

Hello,
    Thanks for your reply. The issue is i keep getting somewhat jerky video, 
like it jumps. I abandoned my previous line and took this right out of the 
mplayer docs section 14.8.2 or 3 i think. THe only addition was 
the -channels 6 which i hope will convert from stereo to 5.1 surround sound 
audio. The fps is right for ntsc, but aspect might not be, it is 16/9, in 
the below, isn't that for wide screen? Shouldn't that be 4:3? And the 
abitrate option at 192, i've seen 224 and i believe 480 for 6 channels, is 
192 the correct value?
Thanks.
Dave.

mencoder -channels 6 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf 
\
-vf scale=720:480,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 \
-lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:\
keyint=18:vstrict=0:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 30000/1001 \
-o movie.mpg movie.avi
