The first question is what formats does your Sony DVD player handle? From your comment, I'm guessing it's a straight DVD player (no DivX). If that's the case, I don't think you can do what you want with mencoder. Mencoder can output an mpeg file, which is what DVD uses, but it won't be in DVD format, and your player probably won't like it. You could use mplayer's yuv4mpeg option to output a stream compatible with the mjpegtools and then use the mjpegtools to encode that to DVD format -- I have done that before and had great results. If you search the list archives, I'm pretty sure I posted a script or instructions on how to do that some time back. Be aware that it won't always be possible -- some files mplayer can play are not at a compatible framerate for DVD (either 24 or 29.97), so you won't be able to convert directly from those files. -- Robert Kesterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
