I'm not sure if this is the proper channel to ask about the mencvcd script, so let me know in whatever appropriate manner ;-)
Anyhow, I have a DivX file which I encoded to SVCD, the picture quality was great but the sound was waaaaaay off, and I suspect it is because of my use of incorrect command line switches. First, I could not simply do: mencvcd <name> -svcdout <file.avi> because I got this error: ++ WARN: [yuvscaler] Could not infer norm (PAL/SECAM or NTSC) from input data (frame size=576x432, frame rate=11988011:500000 fps)!!**ERROR: [yuvscaler] No norm specified, cannot determine VCD output size. Please use the -n option!**ERROR: [mpeg2enc] Could not read YUV4MPEG2 header: system error (failed read/write)! So I did some playing around, and tried this: $mencvcd <name> -svcdout -vfr 4 -tvnorm n <file>.avi and it successfully encoded, but the sound was way *behind* the video, by about 15- 20 seconds. Before I try playing around again (this takes a loooong time), should I be going for a *higher* video framerate, or lower? I can't wrap this poor holiday-boozing noggin around it right now...
