So just to be sure... Would this work for rencoding to DVD? mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video copy -o file.mpg file.ts Also what is the difference between rencoding to DVD and doing: mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -oac copy -ovc copy -o file.mpg file.ts I know this is just 'remuxing' but what is remuxing - and what is the difference between this and rencoding to DVD? Sorry for the n00b like questions, but I only need someone to tell me once and then I will know.
