RE:DVD-isofile problem

[JohnB1]

Hi i am new to FFastrans and i wanted to convert a video into a Standard Definition. The current work flow looks like this:

Input folder ---> A/V Media ----> DVD iso-file -----> Output folder

In the DVD iso-file settings i have set all the parameters i need for the correct format but i want the video bitrate to be 15Mbps. That encoder option only goes up to 9.8Mbps. Also the audio sample rate changes from 48Khz to 44.1Khz by itself.

For the output i need these specification:
File extension : .mpg
Resolution: 720 x 576
Standard: PAL
Field Order: Interlaced, Top Field First
Bitrate 15Mbps
Audio Type: Stereo
Audio Sample Rate: 48KHz
Audio Bitrate: 192 Kbps

Please if anyone can help me
Thanks

Hi JohnB1, thank you for using FFAStrans and welcome to the forum!

DVD does not support that high bit rates. Maximum is aproximately 9800 Mb/s. Also, the node only writes 44100 Hz audio, so there is no option for 48000. The latter however is obviously a limitation I will look at.

Is there any other way to get the specification i need? How can i use custom FFMPEG to make this work?

Thanks

Yes, if you know how to use ffmpeg.

I have also tried using that but it makes an AVS file instead of the file i want. I know the commands for FFMPEG, but it is to make it work in the workflow, which isn't happening

Thanks

Ok, what does your custom ffmpeg look like?

[JohnB1]

so for a test trial i set the audio & video codec as well as the audo & video bitrate and left the options empty. For the extension i have left it as .mpg.

Folder ---> Custom FFMPEG ----> Folder

When i do this the the input file is just copied to the output file.

Well, that is strange. I just tried the same and it did what was expected; created a .mpg file and delivered it to the output destination. Could you export your workflow and post it here so I can take a look?

Hi so i made a new work flow with the same settings and it worked fine.
Thanks for the help
