Hello,
I'm using FreeBSD 6.2 and want to encode many media files of various
formats, .mpg, .avi, .wmv, etc. various aspect ratios etc. to ntsc-compliant
dvd videos to burn to dvd and play on a standard dvd player. I've had a time
wrapping around the mplayer/mencoder/ffmpeg docs and the encode2mpeg docs,
but i think i might almost have a working commandline.
I want to have multiple videos on a dvd, and a menu to select which i
want to watch, i'd also like to convert the audio from stereo to 5.1
surround sound. Here's my commandline as it stands now:
encode2mpeg -o outputfilename.ext -a 2 -vfr 1 -n n -p -dvd -menu -stdvid
9 -mpegchannels 6 -normalize -imageonly -usespeed -videos video1.mpg
video2.avi
My first question has to do with the -vfr option. I'm uncertain as to
whether it should be
-vfr 1
or
-vfr 4
I read in longhelp about -vfr and it looks like 4 is it, but then in i think
it was the mpeg mode html doc it said that -vfr 1 -p would be better.
Next, for the -encode option i am uncertain as to the value i should
plug in for n:m:i, there's many codecs i believe i want mp2 video and ac3
audio, but am hazey on this point.
I'd appreciate any help on these points of confusion.
Thanks.
Dave.
