Works as advertised...mostly
I like this hint. It basically works, but note these caveats:
Works as advertised...mostly
I succeeded in getting an RMVB (Real Media Variable Bitrate) file converted to SVCD, but I had to tweak the settings a little: decode using mplayer (not QuickTime, which is the default) and encoding via mpeg2enc (not ffmpegx).
Works as advertised...mostly
I couldn't get ffmpegx to work at all with RMVB files - dragging an RMVB file to it make it "sit and spin".
I eventually was able to encode the RMVB file using parts of [url=http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20061015103300777&query=DVD%2Bfrom%2Bcommand%2Bline] This Hint [/url] and got pretty good results with no audio sync problems. I compiled and installed MPlayer-1.0rc1 from source. Also installed rp9codecs-macosx - but noticed the Real Video codecs weren't in there - so I just copied the 14 files from this hint to /usr/local/lib/codecs / which is where Mplayer looks for them. I configured Mplayer with the following command: ./configure --with-codecsdir=/usr/local/lib/codecs/ (not sure if that was needed - but did it because my previous Mac Ports install of Mplayer was compiled without Real Video and I have no clue how to edit Mac Ports config files) Anyway - it worked and I was able to burn it to DVD ... the quality was limited to the original RMVB file - but it was watch-able |
