DVD M2V Bitrate is always 9000kbps

[philipchristiansen]

Wanted to post this here instead of bugs, because I am pretty sure it's something stupid I missed.

I had the bitrate in the DVD processor node set 3200kbps, but every resulting m2v file I receive in the delivery folder is running at 9000kbps plus the 224kbps for audio. It's resulting in a lot of files that are much too large to fit on DVDs. I have tried changing the bitrate in the processor node, but it just seems to be stuck at 9000kbps.

I am starting with 3300kbps mp4 files. Not the best to be transcoding them for DVDs, but unfortunately, it's what I have to work with for this application.

Workflow:
Folder A > AV Media Decoder > Conditional (if original < 4.25GB) then > DVD Encoder (m2v) > Folder B
> Conditional (if original > 4.25GB) then > Command Executor (move original) > Folder C

If anybody has any insight as to why the bitrate won't conform to the 3200kbps standard I set, I would really appreciate it. And, if it's something stupid I have done, I'll go ahead and apologize in advance.

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

Good new is that you are NOT stupid, but very wise to post your report on the forum! Thank you and yes, it's a bug. Not directly caused by FFAStrans per se but because of changes in ffmpeg that I did not catch. It will be fixed for the next release. Sorry for the inconvinience!

Ha! Thank goodness! I don't suppose rolling back a version or two would fix it?
