I have lots of movies in avi
format. Some of them are not compatible with my DVD-player.
Is there a one-liner for mencoder
or ffmpeg
- to do just minimal conversion to make the videos DVD-player-compatible?
I don't want to lose any quality or do any transcoding. There's a DeVeDe but - it doesn't do just minimal conversions.
Does your DVD player play some AVI files but not others, or does it only play standard DVDs? – None – 2011-08-02T08:44:55.827
It does! I think it's a pretty standard dvd-player - and the problem is relevant for many people. – Adobe – 2011-08-02T08:50:41.890
1Could you please clarify? Does it play some AVI files or does it only play DVDs? – CadentOrange – 2011-08-02T09:05:41.410
@Adobe - the point is that if it only plays regular DVDs, it will require DVD-formatted streams of PAL/NTSC MPEG-2 video and precisely nothing else. If it plays some AVI files but not others, maybe the others can be tweaked without reprocessing. – None – 2011-08-02T09:10:07.193
I appreciate Your help. It plays both - for sure - DVDs and some AVIs. For some other AVIs it says - "the format is not supported". It could also play mp3. So overall - it's really just basic modern dvd-player ("it's a Sony" BTW). – Adobe – 2011-08-02T10:26:25.847
Can you get two AVIs, one that plays and one that doesn't, and then run MediaInfo on those two? Add some screenshots to the question and then we can see which codecs we need. Get back to me with @slhck.
