Not too far off topic - since it is about converting DVB streams to DVD and iPod compatable formats. It is pretty hard to have one without the other. Anyway it's still not making much sense to me. This time I did this: mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -oac faac -faacopts br=10:raw -of lavf -o "The Biggest Hits - Right Now.mp4" -oac faac -faacopts br=128:raw "The Biggest Hits - Right Now.ts" And I got this output: mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -oac faac -faacopts br=NN:raw -of lavf -o "The Biggest Hits - Right Now.mp4" -oac faac -faacopts br=128:raw "The Biggest Hits - Right Now.ts" MEncoder dev-CVS--4.0.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon 64 Newcastle,Winchester,San Diego,Venice; Sempron Palermo (Family: 15, Stepping: 0) CPUflags: Type: 15 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for Debian 89 audio & 203 video codecs The br option must be an integer: NN Exiting... (error parsing cmdline) I know you said 'yes' when I asked is NN was supposed to be a number, but you neglected to say what this number is. If I include some random number (say 10) for NN - since I do not know the correct value for this number, I get another error message saying: mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -oac faac -faacopts br=10:raw -of lavf -o "The Biggest Hits - Right Now.mp4" -oac faac -faacopts br=128:raw "The Biggest Hits - Right Now.ts" MEncoder dev-CVS--4.0.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon 64 Newcastle,Winchester,San Diego,Venice; Sempron Palermo (Family: 15, Stepping: 0) CPUflags: Type: 15 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for Debian 89 audio & 203 video codecs success: format: 0 data: 0x0 - 0x2d9bc6c8 TS file format detected.

Select one (see -ovc help). Exiting... Can't someone just give me a straighforward one line answer (showing the full command line) on how to to convert the above file to a fully Ipod (and also a DVD) comptable format/s? Like I said I only need to know once. I will certainly ask on the Mplayer users list for any more advanced Ipod related encoding information. (Such as scaling/quality settings and so on).
