I would like to know if anyone on this list got a (working) script converting an output file generated by cinelerra to a VBR mpeg2 file (with AC3 if possible).
I even use (old - 1.2.2) Cinelerra, and it can pipe to YUV4MPEG perfectly to mpeg2enc and do variable bitrate. I use this as the pipe command:
mpeg2enc -f 8 -b 7500 -n n -F 4 -a 2 -q 4 -g 3 -G 18 -4 2 -2 1 -H -o % I render ac3 separately, and then multiplex with mplex.
I tried mencoder, but all I got is "ERROR: SCR: ..." messages while encoding a .mov file (dv+2 complements audio).
I've gotten both ffmpeg mencoder to work with the same pipe render, but haven't tried for mpeg2. I've done x264 and other mpeg4 variants. I prefer mencoder's approach over ffmpeg, but it won't encode without an audio track. So, first, you need to render the audio as wav and tell mencoder to use it while it encodes the video by specifying -audiofile path/to/audio.wav and then set -oac as you like it. I've tried rendering the audio to ac3 first and then using -oac copy, but I always get a/v sync issues. If you have the space, render to wav and then encode everything with that mencoder pipe. You can even do two-pass encoding.
