Hi all. I have a mpg file and I'd like to make a VCD (a SVCD will be ok just the same) out of it but I didn't succeed so far.
The file is a MPEG1 video 720x480 NTSC 29.97 fps 3750kbps (that's what mplayer tells) I demuxed it with bbdmux, and the video stream I got plays well. Then to get a VCD format I tried several commands, none of them worked. Here's the command I used (I played a lot with the options but that's the basic command I've used) cat video.m1v | mpeg2dec -o YUVh | yuvscaler -n n -O VCD | mpeg2enc -f 1 -o video_vcd.m1v (I've also tried -F 1 -F 4 and -I 1) When I try to watch the output video file "video_vcd.m1v" it's all filled with colored vertical lines. Looks like the original video is deformed. At the bottom of this message there's the first part of the command's ouput. Maybe I'm messing something with the framerate (becomes 23.97, don't know why); I really don't know where to start, the more I read the more I get confused: any hint will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, beatrice. P.S.
