Bernhard, Thanks very much for the reply. I'm pretty new to all this so trying to learn fast.
The video bitrate that I encoded at is 9800 kbps, the arguments I used are: mpeg2enc -v 0 -f 8 -F 3 -n p -a 1 -b 9800 -I 1 -r 16 -q 3 -Q 2 ppmtoy4m -v 0 -S 420_mpeg2 -L -I t -F 600:24 -A 4:5 These are basically as suggested at http://thegoods.ath.cx/~hmason/sizzle/sizzle-howto.html Should I just try dropping this bitrate down? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought 9800 kbps was the best quality you could do for DVD and since I only had 30 mins of footage, thought there would be no problem in using this? As far as the mplex bitrate, (-r arguement, muxbitrate) I've left this as the default, i.e that it is calculated from the input. I've just tried with this set at 9800 and the mplex failed as before. Should I try changing this to another value? I've had suggestions that my Vbv buffer size may not be big enough. How do I go about changing this? I've had a look at http://roguelife.org/~fujita/MJPEG/mplex.html, but am still not sure what option alters the Vbv buffer size. Many thanks for the advice so far, Si.
