Creating VideoCD-compliant MPGs using FFMpeg or Mencoder?
« on: November 19, 2008, 07:05:57 PM »
Hi.
I want to convert movies from different formats into VCD-compliant MPGs using either FFMpeg or Mencoder, in order to pass them to VCDGear and create VideoCD disks that will play on a home DVD player.
No matter what arguments i have used, the converted movies always have some A/V sync problems, etc.
Could anyone who has done this successfully paste the exact command-line that he is using?

  Thanks in advance.

 This will certainly not produce a VCD compliant MPG.
As for the Mencoder's manual, (second link) i have tried the suggested arguments for creating VCDs without much success.

Check my tutorial here. I have successfully made several VideoCDs on my AmigaOne using it. I hope to expand it someday with instructions on how to join more video files in a single VCD, and to create another guide about DVD Video creation.

 :-D Don't even mention it. It was just a post pretty relative to what i asked and therefore far from being useless. :-)
