How To Verify .M2V DVD Compliance

[Pookie]

I've been using FFMpeg from the command line to create some great looking .M2V files for DVD authoring. Problem is, Muxman rejects them unless I mux the .m2v and .ac3 into a new .mpg file with TMPGenc, then demux them into "new" .m2v and .ac3 files. The remuxed/demuxed file is then accepted by Muxman and all works fine.

My FFMpeg batch file is as follows:

avs2yuv "d:\cap.avs" - | ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -pass 1 -passlogfile log_file -aspect 16:9 -hq -an -vcodec mpeg2video -target dvd pass1.m2v

avs2yuv "d:\cap.avs" - | ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -pass 2 -passlogfile log_file -aspect 16:9 -hq -an -vcodec mpeg2video -target dvd pass2.m2v

Any way to perform a comparison on the "before" and "after" m2v files to determine what TMPGenc is doing to them to make them compliant ? I'd like to take the remux/demux thing out of the DVD creation process.

TIA
