Hello, I created a DVD from some miniDV recordings, and I tested it on 3 hardware players. 2 work perfectly, but the third one, a SAMSUNG M105, only shows the menu I created, but refuses to play any titles. (can't give the details of the refusal - it's not my player) I've seen on http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDname=m105 that this player is indeed pretty picky about media, but I do see some reports that it should correctly reproduce Princo DVD-R's, which is what I used. The fact that it does show the menu, seems to indicate that it did indeed accept the medium... So my question is, what could I do to create a DVD with higher player compatibility? I short, the tools and settings I used: lav2yuv | mpeg2enc -f 8 lav2wav mp2enc -r 48000 mplex dvdauthor growisofs I'd also be interested if anyone on the lists has had good/bad experiences with this player with homegrown DVD, SVCD or VCD. Kind regards Maarten |

Thanks, that is a very useful Howto, I wish I had found it before :-) I do not use transcode (I like to control the process step-by-step), but I think that I can deduce the underlying process from the parameters. One question: you are using ffmpeg to decode the DV, while I have been using lav2yuv. Any idea what would be the advantage of ffmpeg? Maarten |

I'm using the transcode ffmpeg decoder because the other decoder that comes with transcode (libdv.sourceforge.net a.k.a. the Quasar DV codec) has slightly poorer performance w.r.t. image quality. When using ffmpeg to read the DV files, i can obtain 10% better compression when converting to MPEG2 than when reading with libdv, all else being equal. There are people claiming visual improvements of the stream decoded with ffmpeg over the one decoded with Quasar, but i was never able to tell the difference. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ |
