Any suggestions for converting mp4 files to VOB?
Even an example with mencoder might be useful.
Long long ago, I used mencoder for making DVD video files.
Lost track of the script I used.
I tried it again recently,
but getting all the options right was making my head swim.
At least one of the files I want to convert is 480x360@24 .
If "480x360@24" means native resolution or frame size at 24fps then
I'd try:
ffmpeg -i source.mp4 -target film-dvd -s 480x360 output.vob
Make sure to write the "-s" option after the "-target ..." one,
because the "target film-dvd" is some sort of wrapper that already
includes some "-s" switch, namely 720x480. So you might need to
override it. See man ffmpeg{-all} for the "-target" option.
I haven't actually tried to copy such a VOB file to a DVD. So at
worst, you ruin a disk ... ;)
And thanks for the question: I got curious myself for an answer.
ffmpeg might be a bit difficult to handle at times, but it's great
anyways ...
Good luck!
