The command sequence I use now looks like this: pnmscale $S $TMP1 | \ pnmpad -black -width 704 -height 576 | \ ppmntsc --pal | \ ppmtoy4m -F 25:1 -A 4:3 -I p -r -S 420mpeg2 -v 2 -n 3 | \ mpeg2enc -f 7 -a 2 -q 1 -n p -I 0 -T 120 -R 2 -g 10 -G 12 -o "$TMP2" mplex -f 7 -o "$MPG" "$TMP2" and results in a file with three I-frames: INFO: [mplex] VIDEO_STATISTICS: e1 INFO: [mplex] Video Stream length: 316949 bytes INFO: [mplex] Sequence headers: 3 INFO: [mplex] Sequence ends : 2 INFO: [mplex] No. Pictures : 3 INFO: [mplex] No. Groups : 3 INFO: [mplex] No. I Frames : 3 avg. size105649 bytes INFO: [mplex] No. P Frames : 0 avg. size 0 bytes INFO: [mplex] No. B Frames : 0 avg. size 0 bytes So it's a step forward, but we need to make this one I- and two (or more) P-frames.
