I'm trying to convert video clips from my camera (KonicaMinolta A200) to .vdr format, so that I can watch them using vdr, but so far I had no success. The format is MJPEG 640x480 30fps, with PCM audio (7875x16x1). I can convert it to MPEG4 with:
transcode -i "$in" -x mov,ffbin -y ffmpeg -F mpeg4 -N 0x55 --no_audio_adjust -E 11025,16,1 -o "$out"
but i cannot convert it to MPEG2. I found some hints that I could use mplayer to do the conversion, something like:

(End of file)
However, when I play this with vdr (after generating the index.vdr file with genindex), this video is not the right size, it skips every few seconds and there is no sound.
What do I have to do to get a proper vdr recording?
