I have not followed all the detail of this thread, but in case it is useful I use the following to convert to mpg so that my dvd player will play it. ffmpeg -i <filename> -target pal-dvd -acodec ac3_fixed <outfile>.mpg If you are not PAL then you might want -target ntsc-vcd Colin _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
