Re: [CinCVS] Mpeg2 encoding

[jim scott]

I don't think that's the case. There are two ways to produce DVD compatible MPEG-2 output through Cinelerra. The easiest way is the mpeg2enc plugin. If you copied the mpeg2enc binary from /usr/bin to /usr/lib/cinelerra, you're almost there. You need to make sure that the file is named mpeg2enc.plugin in the cinelerra directory. If that doesn't work, try posting the exact error message you are getting.

A second way to get mpeg2 video is to render to a pipe and let ffmpeg do the work. There is a preset for this in the render dialog. ffmpeg can be 40% faster than mpeg2enc, though the quality is typically lower. As a matter of practice, I use ffmpeg to render 'snapshots' and rough cuts, then mpeg2enc to produce my final video.

as amazing as it seems, cinelerra doesn't support DVD compatible MPEG-2 output.

you need to save to another format and then use another application to do the conversion.
