Unfortunately: yes, you should assume that. The script not only won't transcode them properly, it won't transcode them at all :-) The scripts assume that the original files are mpeg2 in a DVD comaptible resolution (720x576 for pal and 720x480 for ntsc; 704x576 and 704x480 are also mentioned in the standard and should work, as should a few low-res settings). Transcoding differet formats is on the radar for the scripts, but not right away. Next thing I'll add is recoding mpeg2 audio to ac3 for ntsc DVDs - on pal, mpeg2 is a required format for all players so no problems there. On NTSC ac3 is required and mpeg2 optional; just another way to introduce artifical regional incompatibilities in the DVD standard. Works nicely on my system, just need to bundle it up as a tarball. After that, I'd like to have bitrate reduction using tcrequant - some of the DVB stations I receive broadcast at bitrates of ~ 7500kb/s which comes to ~ 4GB per hour. Meaning: a feature length film won't fit on a DVD as-is. Once that works I might add transcoding of different formats - no promises though: my system is DVB only, and I don't currently transcode anything, so motivation is fairly low. Bye, Martin
