I haven't reverse engineered this to truly find out. But, while experimenting I believe I've found what this program is doing to so magically encode without any a/v synch issues! And I think this may help a few of the requests 1) variable bitrate 2) just the mpg, not the full DVD
In the directory where you install this, you'll find a ffmpeg.exe. This is a windows built version of the ffmpeg project. This is actually one of the best parts of this program is that it comes with a Windows version of ffmpeg. The only other one I can find is the one that comes with ffmpeggui, but that one was build in 02/2005. The one with HDTV2DVD is newer, build 09/2005.
If you open a command prompt and navigate to that directory and then run the following command:
ffmpeg.exe -i "c:input.ts" -benchmark -target ntsc-dvd -aspect 16:9 -b 3000 -ac 6 "c:output.mpg"
It will create a 720x480 16:9 MPEG2 with full 5.1 AC3 (assuming your source has it) that you can then throw into DVDAuthor, TMPG DVD Author, etc. 3000 kbps will get you approx. 4, 40 min shows on one DVD. Up that to about 4100-4150
I've been struggling for quite a while converting to DivX using AviSynth, DVD2Avi2, VirtualDub, etc. This is a simple one-step method to get a file that you can play on any DVD Player.
Hope this helps! |
