I can't get it to work if I try to put yuvscaler and mpeg2enc instead of ffmpeg, mplayer just quits.
Any pipe/fifo experts that knows what's wrong with this;

mkfifo -m 660 stream.yuv &
mplayer -benchmark -noframedrop -nosound -vo yuv4mpeg -osdlevel 0 dvd://1 &
dd if=stream.yuv | yuvscaler -n n -M WIDE2STD -O SVCD | mpeg2enc -a 2 -f 4 -F 4 -S 800 -B 192 -I 1 -o test.m2v

By the look of the output, at least yuvscaler starts, BUT mplayer quits.
