The command line that I use is <\/p>\n<pre class=\"consoleoutput\">\r\n  transcode -i&lt;AVI FILM&gt; -V -y mpeg -F d -E 44100 -b 224 -fps 25 -o &lt;OUTPUTFILENAME&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>  This generates two files, *.m2v (the dvd video segment) and *.mpa (the audio segment).<\/p>\n<p>  The options in the above command line are<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>-b    Audio bitrate Kbit&#8217;s<\/li>\n<li>-E    Audio sampling rate (Hz)<\/li>\n<li>-F    codec (d = dvd)<\/li>\n<li>-i     input file<\/li>\n<li>-V    use internal video codec (faster but some import modules do not support this)<\/li>\n<li>-y    video, audio export modules.<\/li>\n<li>-fps  Frames per second, 25 is for PAL, 29.97 for NTSC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>  If the audio is in the <a href=\"http:\/\/ac3filter.sourceforge.net\/\" title=\"AC3 Codec\">AC3 Codec<\/a> then you may need to reduce the bitrate for encoding.  This is done with a profile file dvd.prof, which containts the following entry.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"consoleoutput\">\r\n   max_bitrate=4000000.0<\/pre>\n<p>  this will reduce the bitrate to 4000 kpbs.  The profile is passed to the transcode program within the 3rd parameter to -F, also the parameter -A means to use the internal AC3 codec.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"consoleoutput\">\r\n  transcode -i&lt;AVI FILM&gt; -V -y mpeg -F d,,dvd.prof -m &lt;OUTPUTFILENAME.AC3&gt; -A 0x2000 -fps 25 -o &lt;OUTPUTFILENAME&gt;<\/pre>\n<p>  Joining the OUTPUTFILENAME&#8217;s together<\/p>\n<p>  To join these two segments together <\/p>\n<pre class=\"consoleoutput\">\r\n  tcmplex -o &lt;OUTPUT.VOB&gt; -i &lt;OUTPUTFILENAME.M2V&gt; -p &lt;OUTPUTFILENAME.MPA&gt; -m d\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>  If using the AC3 codec then <\/p>\n<pre class=\"consoleoutput\">\r\n  tcmplex -o &lt;OUTPUT.VOB&gt; -i &lt;OUTPUTFILENAME.M2V&gt; -p &lt;OUTPUTFILENAME.AC3&gt; -m d\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>  This will create a MPEG file ready to be either watched or converted again into the DVD format and then burned.<\/p>\n<p>  Hope that helps, and this also servers as a reminder to me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This shall serve as a reminder for myself and may help others.
