I am running SuSE 8.2 with mjpegtools1.6.1 on AMD xp2200 512DDR ASUS V8170 DDR 
MX440 64 MB  

From a Sony Digicam using Kino on IEEE raw1394 driver I have various >2gig av2 
OpenDML files. SVCDs from this in men2svcd with Mplayer is no problem and 
makes excellent home SVCDs. 

I have also made quite good quality smaller files using lavc and divX in 
Mplayer BUT none will play on any Windows or Mac Box.

I have searched and read threads in this list and Mplayer list and transcode 
list. It seems that mpeg1 is the most universally playable other than 
teaching M$ people how to install DDshow and getting all Mac users I know to 
install Mplayer for OSX. 

Is that right or is there another better solution here?

I have tried the script lav2mpeg from mjpegtools. From this I get an m1v file 
but it quits at audio. I have set variables in the script to use mp2enc 
instead of toolame but it still seems to default to toolame. mp2enc works 
fine in men2cvd. I am not sure if the problem is not in the lav2mpeg script. 
The audio is uncompressed pcm 16bit.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. Below is log and attached is my  
version of lav2mpeg.

lav2mpeg -d 240x176 -m mpeg1 -o test.mpg /home/raena/DV/capture009.avi
21:33:52 -  using outputres=240x176 - mode=mpeg1 - outfile=test.mpg -
21:33:52 - using output_width=240, output_height=176
21:33:52 - using mode=mpeg1, stereo=2 audio bpr=224
21:33:52 - beginning conversion of /home/raena/DV/capture009.avi to test.mpg
21:33:52 - had 256 to encode
21:33:52 - beginning video encoding
21:34:39 - finished video encoding ( took 0:00:47 - 5.446 fps)
21:34:39 - beginning audio encoding
21:34:39 - ugh! audio encoding failed, bailing. used command:
21:34:39 - nice -n 19 lav2wav  /home/raena/DV/capture009.avi | nice -n 19 
toolame -b 224  -s 44.1 /dev/stdin  test.mp2

Thanks
