My 20 minute DVD results in a 1.1 GB *.VOB file so I trust that this may not be a concern here. Are you suggesting that "colors" === "codecs"? I saw the above list of "colors" in the documentation, but I did not equate that with the FOURCC codec names that I have been trying. Should I use one of those *Y* "colors" as the video codec in this case? And, yes, I saw the "rm format" item in the "File formats" output of: % ffmpeg -formats When I tried using it, I got similar failure results as those I indicated yesterday. In particular, the audio codec was "faad" and the demuxer was "real", but there was NO video codec (or video content) in the resulting *.RM file. Please understand that I am confused, and being a bit new to the world of multimedia, somewhat clueless. :-) Regards, web... -- William Bulley Email: web@umich.edu
