Should I be looking at rendering the Video and Audio streams separately?
yes, good choice If so, what settings should I use (perhaps .mpg video and
.mpg audio?).
better use yuv4mpegstream for video and maybe ac3 for audio, for compability issues, although mpeg audio can be used as well...
If I do that, how do I combine the streams into a
standard NSTC style .mpg file containing audio and video compatible with the .mpg used to create DVDs and in perfect synchronization?
with mplex or ffmpeg
When I use ffmpeg to import video from a DVD, I usually use the option -b 8500 to get good quality video (which results in q=2, which is the best if I understand correctly).
dunno if i understood properly but if you're using footage from dvd you can directly import it from cinelerra timeline (mpegtoc) and avoid an intermediate transcode (in order no to loose quality)
I want to lose as little quality as is practical when I render the video -- I want the output quality to be no worse than that of the original input .mpg video files.
well....there's an ntsc-dvd option when using yuv4mpegstream to render video track, it works good!
Thanks for any assistance, and special thanks to the developers and to all those who have helped me in the past.
you're welcome! sorry answering so fast (i've little time) hope it helps! Vale
