MediaCoder

MediaCoder does it all one-step MKV+subs to MPG, except for that one little last problem of not producing MPG files that I can use in DVDA. I even get DVD compliant audio with MediaCoder. It's just the video that isn't compliant. sounds quite simple. :) I could punch you for that one :wink: Simple ...

unfortunately mediacoder uses mencoder for mpeg2 encoding, and i couldn't get it to work with ffmpeg. In MediaCoder, ffmpeg works for me, but I get best results with mencoder for video and ffmpeg for audio. My current first step app uses mencoder as well (AllToAVI) for MKV to AVI (video/audio). Vir...

All I am asking is if anyone knows what settings to use in MediaCoder (and how to set them) to have the MPG come out DVD compliant. Has anyone ever cared about that and figured it out? well, it's 3:19 AM here, but i figured out something related to your problem. i have downloaded and analyzed the D...

Thanks. I can author and burn them with DVD Author, just not DVD Architect which has a really nifty interface and fast. I may try some other authoring apps to see if they choke.

Sorry, I guess after 5 months of trying to get from MKV faithfully to MPG/VOB, and being one step away, I got too impatient ;> Used MPEG Maker, and even tried creating an edited version that used ffmpeg command switches from DVDFlick (e.g., "-strict 2"), and then also found "Target format" in Settin...

Perhaps I offended someone? Or gave you too much data? Or is it not understood what I mean? When I load MPGs into a DVD authoring program (DVD Architect, DVDAuthor), it verifies whether or not the files are fully DVD compliant and wants to re-encode them if they aren't. ALL the apps I have used to c...

To the experts... I have after many attempts been unable to output an NTSC DVD Compliant mpg file. I have used Extensions, have changed values in Settings and done everything I can find to do after about 12 attempts. I have searched and read all the Forum posts and Tips, as well as googled for answe...

In this instance, I apparently have found a way to get the subs down in size. I don't claim this will work every time for everyone, but... I used MKVExtract to open the MKV and found Truetype font files inside. These fonts install by dragging them into the fonts folder in the Windows dir. After inst...

I think... think... I have finally figured out everything else in getting MediaCoder to transcode an MKV to MPG for authoring to DVD. However, it apparently doesn't utilize the font settings included in the internal subtitles track. All the players render them properly, other GUI front-ends encode t...
