I'm not having a problem with the tools per se, but a problem with my DVD player. I need to fool it. Question below code.
This works: transcode -i $infile -V -y yuv4mpeg,mp2enc -F 1 -Z 384x240 -E 44100 -b 224 -o $outnam || exit 1 So does this: transcode -k -i $infile -V -y yuv4mpeg,mp2enc -F 1 -E 44100 -b 224 -o $outnam || exit 1 ( (mv $outnam $outnam.yuv && cat $outnam.yuv) \ | yuvscaler -n n -O VCD -M RATIO_512_352_384_240 \ | mpeg2enc -f 1 -o $outnam.m1v ) || exit 1 I did the second crazy thing because I was hoping that yuvscaler was going to add black bars at the top and bottom. Turns out it doesn't need to at that ratio... Incidentally, if I use RATIO_512_352_384_210 it adds the bars, but squishes the video top to bottom (obviously). The problem is, my DVD player cuts off 10 or so pixels from each side, and 15 or so from the top and bottom. When I try to play the VCD it renders some of the subtitles off the screen -- not to mention some of the video. I imagine everyone's NTSC equipment does this to a certain extent, but the subtitles are the real problem. The actual question: Is there some trick I can use to fool my DVD player into clipping less of my video; while still preserving the desired aspect ratio? I was shooting for thin black bars the whole way around, but it turns out yuvscaler won't do that. -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 50 jumps, 15.0 minutes of freefall, 31.3 ff vertical miles. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
