If you use -f 4 you dont need the -b 2500 -S 650. The -b ist set by default to that value. The -S option is set to a larger value (730MB) which still fit without problems on a CD in Mode 2. You do not need to use the %d when encoding. You only need the %d when multiplexing. BTW: If you use -S you should also check if you need the -B option. BTW2: Have you checked the mjpeg-howto section: Creating SVCD. > This results in a file named file%d.m2v that is slightly under > 500MB and is less than half the running time of the original avi > file. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Nothing. You need to split the file int 2GB pieces. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
