Fair enough, but when I tried this using ffmpeg-devel-2007.04.29_2, this is what happened: freebsd% ffmpeg -i original.dvd.image.vob worth.a.try.mpg [lots of output] freebsd& % midentify worth.a.try.mpg ID_VIDEO_ID=0 ID_AUDIO_ID=0 ID_FILENAME=worth.a.try.mpg ID_DEMUXER=mpegps ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=0x10000001 ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=0 ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=720 ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=480 ID_VIDEO_FPS=29.970 ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000 ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=80 ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0 ID_AUDIO_RATE=0 ID_AUDIO_NCH=0 ID_LENGTH=1277.41 ID_VIDEO_CODEC=mpegpes ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=64000 ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000 ID_AUDIO_NCH=2 ID_AUDIO_CODEC=mp3 <<== Real Producer doesn't like this either... freebsd% ./producer -i worth.a.try.mpg -o worth.a.try.rm RealProducer(R) Basic 11.1 Build number: 11.1.0.2676 Info: Missing RIFF header. worth.a.try.mpg is not a valid AVI file. Error: Failure to load reader for file worth.a.try.mpg Error: Unable to initialize input Error: Failed to initialize inputs Done Errors: 3 Warnings: 0 Recall that the Real Producer (basic) insists on one of three input file formats: *.AVI, *.MOV or *.WAV Maybe I misunderstood your suggestion(s), but this approach seems doomed. I need to create Real Media output for our WWW site even though this is not the 1990s. :-) Regards, web... -- William Bulley Email: web@umich.edu
