The third line up from the bottom of your listing says it all.
[mpeg2video @ 009DFB78]MPEG1/2 does not support 2997/125 fps

125 Frames per second is far in excess for MPG1 or MPG2, max allowed 30.
2997 Bitrate Kbps is also wrong: It's additions/subtractions of 48.
So the lowest from there is 2976 and above that is 3024.

Hope this helps.

Charles.

When I load the file that output comes from, it's listed as a Divx 5.0 file, at 711kbs, 24 fps. The input file is fine. I am using the default MPEG2 settings, at 2080 kbps fixed bitrate, and mp3 audio. I don't know what else there is that I can do.

Ok. From what to MPEG2?

Output:-
Set 'Container' to MPEG and the 'Option' to MPEG-2

See 'Audio/Video Knowledge' and 'Tips And Guides', they may help.
I'll try to add more of my stuff to them a.s.a.p.
If you have New findings, let us all know. Every bit helps.

Hope it helps

Whatever. I don't understand how this can be so complicated. It's a divx file. the program detects the properties of it. I'm simply trying to convert it to mpeg2 using defaults. I have yet to have this program work on any of my input files. I simply give up.

have fun..

Hi.
Have a look at 'tips and Guides'. There'll be something there soon.
