If anyone is successfully converting DVDs to SVCD (or MPEG2 formats in general) I'd appreciate knowing what tools they use. I have been fine producing MPEG4 files with mencoder, but I now have a networked video player (Hauppauge MediaMVP) which doesn't support MPEG4 but supports MPEG2 just fine. I tried mencoder. The ports version won't produce mpeg2 (at least not with libavcodec). The version from the mplayer site will, but the results look like "modern art". I got the same with transcode, though it's a while since I used it. ffmpeg=20 won't even build on my AMD-Duron based 5.1 machine (though to be fair it will on my PIII Celeron 4.9 machine). The package of ffmpeg doesn't support mpeg2 encoding. mjpegtools has an=20 mpeg2 encoder but not a decoder. It seems like no matter what I try there is some problem which blocks me. I would hate to have to revert to a Windows solution for this. jim
