[MPlayer-users] Re: VCD/SVCD Encoding

[mpi at up1.ath.cx]

This works, i can pipe the output from mplayer into mpeg2enc, and correct
the resolution to a standard svcd resolution, however the aspect ratio
gets destroyed... any way to bring the resolution up while maintaining
aspect, black bars top and bottom etc...
Also the fps gets screwed, the source divx movie i`m trying to use is
23fps, whereas a pal svcd must be 25, so it plays back too quickly.
