Hi All,
I have some video stuff I have been working with. I
have it in *.mov format (Video- H.264 + AAC (TS)).
The file plays fine in VLC.
Now how do I get the thing on to a DVD so that it
will play on my TV through my home DVD player?
I have tried burning it as an iso and writing it
as a data file. No joy. What am I missing?
Many thanks,
-T |

Standard DVD uses MPEG2 instead of H264 as compression method and it also
expects a certain directory structure on the DVD |

Try Kino and import your videos, then edit and export as
a DVD.
I use HandBrake, kino and k3b for all my DVD stuff, and get
good results with everything.

The following are my notes to myself about making a DVD that
played just fine in a home DVD player. In this case, the input
file was "fred.asf".
ffmpeg -i fred.asf -y -target ntsc-dvd -threads 2 -mbd rd -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -pass 1/2 fred-final.mpg
dvdauthor --title -o fred_dvd -f fred-final.mpg
dvdauthor -o fred_dvd -T
growisofs -Z /dev/cdwriter=ziso
The first command might need to be different, depending on your
input format.
Good luck.

I use mencoder from mplayer web site. It comes with most Linux distributions
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
Here is my typical recipe
aspect="4/3" # change to "16/9" for wide screen
vbrate=5000 # for really high quality, cut down to 700 for web quality
mencoder oac lavc -af lavcresample=48000 \
-ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf
scale=720:480,expand=:::::${aspect},harddup -srate 48000 -lavcopts \
vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=6000:vbitrate=${vbrate}:keyint=18:trell:mbd=2:precmp=2:subcmp=2:cmp=2:dia=-10:predia=-10:cbp:mv0:vqmin=1:lmin=1:dc=10:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=${aspect}
\
-ofps 30000/1001 -o ${outfile} ${infile} |

The results of decoding and then reencoding to dvd are usually pretty
awful. |

Well GIGO applies here. Trying to get a small cellcam to look good on a
DVD is nigh impossible. However, with good input, mencoder can do a
great job of cleaning it up if you know how to tweak the video transforms. |

That's not my experience. The avi can look just fine, but when
reencoded to a DVD look like absolute rubbish. What, pray tell, do
you tweak to get a reasonably looking DVD? |

The avi is a pretty raw format, no compression. Mpeg 2 has a fair amount
of compression. Unless you set up the compression variables, you can
easily create garbage, as you have pointed out. I have found the minimal
mencoder settings do have issues when converting avi and some mov files
which are played back on quicktime or WMP.
The mencoder recipe I posted earlier is one I have used with a lot of
success. The keyint=18 and harddup settings help the most. Having a
smaller key frame interval (keyint) seems to be the key. Otherwise, the
mpeg rendered from the avi breaks up and freezes. |
