Hi everybody,
I'm trying to author an SVCD or DVD from an MPEG4 avi file.

Thanks to all who helped me. I'm now able to encode to SVCD or DVD (not very
fast, about 1.5fps, but at least it doesn't hang after 300 frames :-).
I'm a bit puzzled about the bitrate. I'd like to fit my movie on a single CD
(700MB) but to still be playable on my hardware VCD/DVD player.

I just learned that I can use VCD Copy X to rip the tracks off of a
VCD or SVCD as *.dat files. I renamed the *.dat files as *.mpg and
they seemd to be OK.
So is a DAT file the same as

You find the average bitrate in the mplex output when you multiplex the
stream.

Actually off topic but I can't get there from here. I need to install
Avifile to install mjpegtools to satisfy dependencies. Avifile requires
divx for linux. Downloaded from divx.com ran the install script as per
instructions. (./install.sh) got no messages as well as no errors but
the depende

If you wanf to "rip" VCD
