Hi, I'm having some problems converting an xvid avi file to a dvd compliant mpeg-2 file using ffmpeg.
The problem I'm having is that ffmpeg isn't using the bitrate I specify. I've tried
ffmpeg -i video.avi -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec mp2 -b 7000k output.mpg
but the bitrate hovers at around 2500K when it's converting.
I also tried
ffmpeg -i video.avi -sameq -target dvd output.mpg
but the bitrate hovers at around 6500K when it's converting. Which isn't the same bitrate as the original video.
Anybody know why it's doing this?
