a_r_p.mpg is the first 20MB of a NTSC SVCD file. a_r_p.mpg was created from DVD "The Angry Red Planet", the 2nd VOB file on the DVD (vts_01_2.vob) with the following sequence. The version of mpeg2dec used is 0.7 and is available from mjpeg's ftp site: http://download.sourceforge.net/mjpeg/ All other mjpeg tools (yuvscaler, mpeg2enc) are from the CVS version (1.5) of mjpegtools (http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net) The A52 program a52dec is from the liba52-0.7.2 release a52dec -s -o wav vts_01_2.vob | sox -t wav /dev/stdin -t wav -r 44100 /dev/stdout | toolame -p 2 -b 224 /dev/stdin foo.mp2 cat vts_01_2.vob | \ mpeg2dec -s -o YUV | \ yuvscaler -I USE_712x480+8+0 -O SVCD | \ mpeg2enc -n n -h -f 4 -q 8 -V 200 -p -o foo.m2v mplex -V -f 4 -b 200 -O 242 -o a_r_p.mpg foo.m2v foo.mp2 the -O (a/v offset) was manually determined by using either 'extract_ac3' or 'vstrip'. The resulting SVCD file when burned to a CD-RW disc plays _fine_ in a hardware player but MPlayer plays about 20% fast.
