I looked through your script, and can't tell which options you used to encode with that produce problems. Can't say I've had the same issues as you do with dv to DVD using mpeg2enc, mplex and dvdauthor, tested myself with Panasonic S35, Toshiba HD-A2, Philips 642, Apex 1100ad, Xbox, Xbox 360, and PS2. My DVDs play on PS3's, as that's whay my sister has, and I just did her son's school play. No one else that recieved a copy of the play said anything about problems either. I gave away 36 copies, so that should be a good number of test subjects. This is a sample of my command that's used. lav2yuv kino.capture.dv | yuvdenoise -G 2,3,3 |\ mpeg2enc -f 8 -R 2 -K tmpgenc --cbr -b 5500 \ -M 2 -4 2 -2 1 -D 9 -g 3 -G 15 -o out.m2v I stopped using -q because of the rate control bug, and the fact it almost always peaks above 9000. -D 9, because, in all honesty, homemade DVD just doesn't have the bandwidth to need a dct presion of 10. Min gop of 3, max gop of 15. 18 is the max allowed by NTSC, 15 for PAL, gop should be x/3. Not using closed GOPs, because quality is always less, and using open GOPs allows for scene change. 2 B frames per GOP to give better compression. 8000 is not a conservitive value. Try 7500-7000 instead. Most consumer lasers will have problems with DVD+/-R(W) media at higher bitrates. The only real issue with mplex/dvdauthor is with VOBU_SRI pointers causing issues with FF/FR. The best way to find out if it's mplex/DVDAuthor, or your options used with mpeg2enc. Author the title with muxman (works fine with wine). If you still have issues with the title, change your mpeg2enc switches. If the problem goes away, make sure mplex and dvdauthor are up to date. What you describe is a common problem with field order and interlacing. DV is usually bottom field first, if it's encoded as topfield, you'll get these kind of stutter steps. Also, if it's deinterlaced incorrectly, the same thing will happen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
