Hi all. It's why I came up with the pgmtoy4m program. The YUV4MPEG output from mpeg2enc was a local hack (I think Andrew did it eons ago to an old version of mpeg2dec). Its actually *really* easy to do. I don't think mpeg2dec has changed all that much in quite a

Hallo Its actually *really* easy to do. I don't think mpeg2dec has changed all True, especially if the scaling part is left out. No need for YUVs, YUVh, and so on. That has historic reasons, because they were written at a time no scaler (yuvscaler or Matto's scaler)

Does anybody have scripts/tools they use to do this? It is possible, right? ... Off the top of my head (finger memory) you'll want the latest y4mscaler (0.6.1), a recent (preferably cvs) mpeg2dec (decoder) and ... I'd recommend scaling down from 480x480 to 352x480

Huh? All that pgmtoy4m does is unpack the data from mpeg2dec -o pgmpipe and slap a YUV4MPEG2 header on it (and FRAME markers). No conversion done at all. Ooops... I misread it as ppmtoy4m. Disregard everything I wrote. This reminds me, maybe a better name for pgmtoy4m

I have several dozen (s)vcd's I've made from digitizing the old VHS collection. Now I finally have a DVD burner (woohoo!) and I want to transfer them to DVD. I know I could get better quality by re-capturing, re-editing and re-compressing, but I'm lazy. I just want to take the 2 shrek VCD's and
