[ This is copied and pasted from a reply I made to a similar thread about a month ago ] If it's any help, I create DVDs from recordings made using Kaffeine with a DVB-T card. These are .m2t files. I run them through ProjectX to demultiplex into separate video and audio files and then use mplex with the -f 8 option re-multiplex and create a DVD compliant mpeg. (In reality I use a bash script to do both these steps automatically and the whole de/remux process is probably only necessary because of the DVB-T source and its apparently inherent audio/video sync problems). If editing is needed then Avidemux seems pretty good, saving the edited file with the mpeg-ps option. I use devede to create the fully DVD compliant .iso and save lots of time by selecting the advanced option "This file is already a DVD/xCD-suitable MPEG-PS file". The resultant DVDs play on normal domestic standalone players. -- Bob Cox. Stoke Gifford, near Bristol, UK.
