Berni, it is very easy to understand. I don't copy DVDs, but make own films from my dv-camera. There are two things, which are very important to me: high quality and the possibility to create DVDs from my XSVCDs later *without* reencoding and having other unexpected problems. As long as my standalone-DVD-players accept the XSVCD with DVD parameters I think -f 8 is the securest way to get no problems later, when I make a DVD from the mpg-file of the XSVCD. With a videobitrate of 5000kbps I can make a film with about 23min. That's enough for me. Most of my clips are about 10min. and then I use 6000kbps VBR. A simple command: transcode -i /multimedia_out_nfs/encodesource3/ -V -y mpeg2enc,toolame -F 8 -o test used the following default values: [export_mpeg2enc.so] cmd=mpeg2enc -v 0 -f 8 -b 1800 -F 3 -n p -o "test".m2v and transcode -i /multimedia_out_nfs/encodesource3/ -V -y mpeg2enc,toolame -F 5 -o test created: [export_mpeg2enc.so] cmd=mpeg2enc -v 0 -q 3 -f 5 -4 2 -2 3 -b 1800 -F 3 -n p -V 230 -o "test".m2v So the difference you see, is: -q -4 2 -2 3 I use different -q values with different sources. But does it make sense to use -4 2 -2 3 for encoding DVDs from dv-camera-sources?
