Can you please post the mpeg format, resolution and aspect ration the source has. And the output format you want.

Can you try to encode without the -R 2 option and see what happens. I haven't encoded a MPEG1 with that kind of parameters for a long time. > -rw-r--r-- 1 thoth thoth 1657828416 Mar 27 12:13 x.m2v > -rw-r--r-- 1 thoth thoth 6812375076 Mar 27 11:41 x.yuv That should differ more.

I'm just not sure where I could host it. Does the yuv file look correct when you play it back with lavplay (cat x.yuv | yuvplay) ? auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: shadowl...@utanet.at www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list Mjpeg-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
