Well guys, it looks like there is a difference in the builds. I've done a
little research, though. I tried to find out what those ffmpeg switches in
your CVS version are. By the way, this is the version of ffmpeg I am using:
Name : ffmpeg
Arch : i386
Version: 0.4.9
Release: 0.lvn.0.20.20051228.4
Size : 1.4 M
Repo : livna
When I did a "man ffmpeg", me is "motion estimation method." And the dct
part would be the algorithm used for the motion estimation. Looks like
someone may have gotten higher quality from that setting and decided to
compile into the CVS. If you man on ffmpeg, you can see the different dct
algorithms you can choose from.
Could not find what the -l means, though. -i is input filename.
So, Dean, the meaning of your long command string:
"ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target dvd -ilme -ildct -hq -f mpeg2video
%"
seems to be that Cin is going to encode using YUV4MPEG format, set target
resolution and quality to DVD presets and then reencode using some motion
estimation parameters. Crazy!
Finally, Dean, I'm not sure if you meant that both the string from my guide
AND the string from your version of Cinelerra (without the -hq) worked in
creating a DVD readable file. Could you confirm what you meant? I could
then update my doc with this information.

PS - I did learn that there is a nice switch in ffmpeg to show you the file
formats, codecs and protocols it supports:
ffmpeg -formats
