Just to comment that the CODEC is working fine with MPEG Mediator
So for some cases, or people that have problems with AviSynth, you can just open your VOBs directly with mediator, set your CODEC parameters, and encode
Works like a charm

hay Kwag pal.

Mediator is a parser/ree-encoder like app ??

I'm still having problems w/ ffvfw to work for those mpeg-2 encoder (aka,
.avi) but, my question is this..

Is there a better method to MUX these ffVFW mpeg-2 wrappers to a proper
MPEG-2 stream for compatible DVD authoring ??

I'm still testing this toy out. So, far I've gotten it work pass (fair) using
dvdPatcher v105b (sorr, I forgot the link for others in need) hint, hint..
put in sticky (above)

Yeah, list the required files/apps that will successfully process our ffVFW
mpeg-2 (.avi wrapper) encoded files.

FWIW..

Here is what I use thus far:

* vdub v1.49
* dvdPatcher v1.05b --> drag'nDrop file into and set to your desired
...MPEG-2 specs (ie, DVD - - 720x480/16:9/192kAudio ...

The above is as far as I've gotten. I haven't work w/ the audio just yet,
but I'm having problems, as when I encode ffVFW in a certain middle area,
the audio encoded it starting from the begining
.
.
If my audio is based off a dvd rip, then are you all including it in the encode,
or are you converting it to AC3 or something, then MUXing it later (and w/
what app are you MUXing the audio/video with ? ) ??

Sorry for all the dumb questions, but I'm really pooped out over here afer
work hours.

Thanks for the responses,

MPEG Mediator is a video stream converter.

It's not hard at all
The only thing you have to do, is use "pulldown.exe" (if your source is 23.976fps) to flag the file, and then use DVDPatcher to change the reported bitrate on your .m2v file.
After that, you can mux with BBMpeg or MPlex as "~DVD", and your file can be imported into any standard DVD authoring program.

I'm doing the audio as usual. With HeadAC3he, converting it to .MP2

..that's what I mean, that it's a re-streamer or something. Anyways..

Yeah, I forgot about pulldown slipped my mind for a moment.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here, when using ffvfw to make my
mpeg files. I'm guessing that you are naming your source files .m2v for
encoding/authoring purposes.
.
.
When I set up my ffvfw screen for encoding, I use the following:
* Output: [x] Store frames to AVI - - - [MPEG 1 video stream]
* Output: [x] Store frames to external file
. . [ filename.mpg ]
[x] Set aspect ratio [16] : [9]

Then, when I go to File menu, I save AVI w/ filename.mpg, give it a
name, and begin my ffvfw encoding. Then, I get two files.

Maybe I don't have the proper technique down yet

So, where or when are you using or naming your .m2v files ??

So then, you're encoding just the video, and then doing the audio for last.
Ok. I got it. So, I don't need to do the audio part w/ the video. hmm..
Then, I just need to make sure that I use pulldown properly. FWIW.. i'm
using star wars clones as my video test source.

I just need a good orchestra system for testing

Uncheck "Store frames to AVI" and change [MPEG 1 video stream] to "RAW Frames"

That's fine, if the movie is anamorphic. If you're doing a non-anamorphic movie, where you've added borders to make it letterbox, change that to 4:3.

The file you give after you press "F7" (Save AVI), is a dummy avi file. If you have selected. for example: "C:\TEST.M2V" in your output file name, that's the file you want, after you encode.

Exactly.
