Hi.
For a change, I'm not asking about something but posting what I managed to
get working today.
I tried many different audio and video codecs supported in mplayer's
mencoder, and have come up with the following that provide good quality
viewing under Windows Media Player (and mplayer, of course).
Test6) get audio to work with WPM <----THIS IS A GOOD ONE!!
rm divx2pass.log frameno.avi
nice -n 19 cat [0-9][0-9][0-9].vdr > Combined.vdr
MENCODER="nice -n 19 mencoder"
$MENCODER -ovc …
[View More]frameno -o frameno.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128
Combined.vdr
$MENCODER -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -o /dev/null -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=msmpeg4:vbitrate=1000:vhq:vpass=1 -vop scale=640:400 Combined.vdr
$MENCODER -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -o
DoctorWho_divx3LM_mp3.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=msmpeg4:vbitrate=1000:vhq:vpass=2 -vop scale=640:400 Combined.vdr
This provides DivX 3 Low-Motion Video & MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio (LAME mp3).
Although x264 provides better compression and 'oac copy' provides
(undetectable) better audio, the above is a good compromise - and many of
the .avi s I get off the internet are using the same combination.

Hi list,
when recently recording and burning some music programs via VDR and the burn plugin I wondered if it would be possible to interprete remaining recording marks as DVD chapters.
I tried an extended version of the plugin which I found somewhere in the vdr-portal. As far as I could see chapters are neither supported nor in plan.
Because it did not work at all I switched back to the original version and played a little bit today.
After reading the dvdauthor manpage I recognized that I …
[View More]do not need titles (tracks) but chapters to have song-skipping functionality in a consumer DVD player. I then saw that it is done relativly easy in the XML configuration and modified the burn plugin sources.
I tested this with a Tom Petty concert at deleted the cutting marks and placed new marks before every song. To my surprise all modifications worked correctly and I have chapters on the DVD and can skip between songs.
If someone is interested in this feature I could create a patch. Maybe the feature can be integrated into the plugin but a bit more testing ist required I think
Best regards
Peter
