I patched the bitrate because the nominal 15000 in digital.ts (that seems to be fake) is not correct for dvd. Besides a resolution of 528x480 is not valid either, but most modern players will accept it, so re-encoding is not worth the hassle. For hdtv the basic command is: $ mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:vbitrate=9000 -o hdtv.dvd -oac copy -ovc lavc \ -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=5000:keyint=18:mbd=2:aspect=16/9:vpass=1 -vf scale=720:-10,expand=720:480 that you can extend how you like best. Next you can pass the .dvd files to dvdauthor. Nico
