Hello,

I'm running the following version of trancode:

transcode v1.1.0-cvs, on an Intel Mac on 10.5, compiled via macports.

I'm a bit confused on how to convert from one format (specifically mpeg4,aac -> mpeg2video, mp2 ) - the goal is to play this file on a Tivo.

Running tcprobe using the mplayer option, I get the following file info:

---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$] tcprobe -i input.mkv -X -M

            format: probed by mplayer
            source: 'input.mkv'

The original reason that I'm trying to transcode via transcode, is because using ffmpeg causes jittery video playback on the output transcoded file (of course, using the ffmpeg libraries with transcode will likely get me the same thing). So far, this is the commandline args that I'm using, with subsequent output:

any help, or advice would be appreciated. I can play the file just fine in its original format with mplayer, but that doesn't help me too much with the Tivo playback...

thanks!
