Close, but not quite. If you specify '-b' to mpeg2enc then it is likely that you'll also need to specify '-r' to mplex and take into account the audio plus overhead. As was mentioned earlier you probably want to be using '-f 8' anyhow if the end result is going to be a DVD disc. > OK, I tried that, but the sound is still hopelessly wrong.

If you're using MPlayer to play the output of mplex then it is possible that you're encountering the probley with the default MP2/3 audio decoding. Some versions of gcc miscompile part of mplayer and the symptom is corrupted audio playback. The workaround is to use '-ac mad' (assuming you've built mplayer with the libmad routines from http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/ Hmmm, does the .wav file play correctly and is it at a 48000 sampling rate (which is required for DVD)? I think mp2enc will automatically downsample to 44100 unless told otherwise - and 44100 is not valid for a DVD. That's the only thing I can think of at the moment.
