I haven't seen much info concerning creating (Movie) DVDs for retail DVD players from the Hauppauge HVR-1950 (or pvrusb2 supported) devices.
The file created from my HVR-1950 using the Linux pvrusb2 driver is pretty much DVD compliant already, if not completely compliant. $ file TheEncounter-TBN-20110807-2000.mpg TheEncounter-TBN-20110807-2000.mpg: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 704 x 480, ~30 fps, video:, audio: Dolby AC3 (stereo, 48000 Hz) But this isn't good enough for dvdauthor as it requires a MPEG-PS stream. Every other spec seems to be DVD compliant. I can create a media file usable by dvdauthor, for example converting the original MPEG file to a VOB file by using: $ ffmpeg -i original.mpg -target ntsc-dvd Output.vob And, to ensure I'm copying the codecs: $ ffmpeg -i original.mpg -target ntsc-dvd -vcodec copy -acodec copy Output.vob But this is still a seemingly lengthy process I'm trying to avoid. I orginally tried avidemux2, and avidemux will create the MPEG-PS stream required by dvdauthor, but again it's transcoding the entire video section of the stream and copying only the audio. Again, a very lengthy not-worth-doing process because of the time involved. Anybody have any ideas? After much Googling, I have everything else I need to create simple playable DVD's with no menus using using a simple dvdauthor incantation. >From what I'm seeing from avidemux, I only need to adjust the container from AVI (common MPEG container) to MPEG-PS (A+V) and that's it. No other transcoding seems to be needed here. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/ _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
