   thanks Ron, that works perfectly.
   I just had to remove the aspect= parameter, to preserve the aspect ratio
   of the source file.
   The most important change compared to what I did before is replacing
   mpeg1video with mpeg2vido With that, the direct conversion to mpg works
   also (the aspect ratio is preserved), but using ffmpeg with ntsc-dvd
   target is better.
