I'd like to know too. Ive used ffmpegX a few times with varying success.


Make sure you download the latest version of ffmpeg. It has a new interface where you drag your file in one side, and select an output on the other.

For DVDs, make sure your output is mpeg2 (with the ffmpeg encoder). You will also have to make sure that you keep the video standard constant (ie Pal or NTSC), as it will cause a few playback issues. There is a tutorial for ffmpeg on the website where you download it. Also, have a look at <http://www.vcdhelp.com>. Go to the forums, and there is a Mac section. In the Mac section there are hundreds of messages asking and answering the same question you have!
