With -replex, the video and audio stream will be multiplexed with mplex -vcodec [AVI,MPEG] force the selected video codec [VCD:mpeg1,SVCD-DVD:mpeg2,AVI:mpeg4] -qmatrix mpeg2enc custom quantization matrices: kvcd produce a smaller output stream, hi-res is good for hi-quality source material -mpeg1vbr [DIRECT,MPEG] produce a VCD/MPEG-1 variable bit rate stream, the output stream is smaller and a complete movie could fit in one VCD; check if your hardware player support variable bit rate VCD -cbr force the use of constant bit rate video encoding -mpegmbr [MPEG] set the maximum video bit rate; the default is the value of vbr; a value of 0 remove the limit -mp1 [mp2enc|encode|copy] [DIRECT,MPEG] create mp1 audio with with one of mp2enc, encode or copy the source (mp1) audio stream; see the README -mp2 [mp2enc|toolame|mencoder|copy|musicin|mctoolame] [DIRECT,MPEG] create mp2 audio with one of mp2enc, toolame, mencoder[libavcodec] musicin, mctoolame or copy the source (mp2) audio stream; for musicin or mctoolame you need to use -mpegchannels <3-6> too; default: mp2enc (ch 1-2), musicin (ch 3-6) -mp3 [lame|mencoder|copy] [DIRECT,MPEG] create mp3 audio with lame or mencoder[libavcodec] or copy the source (mp3) audio stream, default lame -ac3 [mencoder|copy] [DIRECT,MPEG] create ac3 audio with mencoder[libavcodec] or copy the source (ac3) audio stream, default mencoder -dts [copy] [DIRECT,MPEG] copy the source (dts) audio stream -lpcm [DIRECT,MPEG] create an uncompressed lpcm audio stream [48000 or 96000 kHz] -acopy [DIRECT,MPEG] copy the source audio streams -mpegchannels <1-6> [DIRECT,MPEG] number of channels of the MPEG audio stream, 1-6 for ac3 and lpcm; 1-2 for mp1, mp2 and mp3; 3-6 for mp2 Multichannel Audio; for the AVI audio stream use MPlayer's option -channels -normalize normalize to the audio stream(s) -volume change amplitude of the audio stream; less than 1.0 decreases, greater than 1.0 increases (float) -multiaudio put more than one audio stream in the output stream, aid is the number you pass the -aid option of mplayer; AVI stream can have only MP3 or AC3 (avimerge limitation), SVCD/DVD stream can have MP1,MP2,MP3,AC3,DTS,LPCM but vcdimager will complain if the SVCD has AC3 or LPCM, VCD can only have 1 audio channel -noscale [DIRECT,MPEG] encode2mpeg automatically scales the video according to the MPEG profile chosen, this option disables this feature; used mainly for debug purposes -monochrome create B/W video or avoid color artifacts in B/W source streams -sync-offset [DIRECT,MPEG] adjust the audio/video synchronization; see -O in man mplex -auto-sync-offset [DIRECT,MPEG] adjust automatically the audio/video synchronization; useful only when using -encode 0:0:1 or -mc 0 and muxing with mplex; tested with TS streams, it may not work properly with other streams -toolopts all the following options are passed to the specified tool; in DIRECT Mode the denoiser (yuvdenoise/y4mdenoise) is not used by default, to turn it on specify it once as argument of -toolopts -split [DIRECT,MPEG] split the resulting MPEG stream in MB chunks. [800] this is the default in DIRECT Mode -nosplit [DIRECT,MPEG] do not split the resulting MPEG stream; this is the default in MPEG Mode -avisplit [AVI] split the AVI stream in MB chunks, default is unsplit, it requires -avionly -resume resume a previous incomplete run -keep once an intermediate stream is not necessary any more it is deleted; with this option you keep all of them; AVI and MPEG streams are never deleted -blank [DIRECT,MPEG] blank a cd before burning it -nowait [DIRECT,MPEG] do not ask for a keypress before starting the burning process -cacheonly do only cache related tasks -avionly [AVI] create only the AVI stream -streamonly [DIRECT,MPEG] create only the elementary stream (video and audio) -mpegonly [DIRECT,MPEG] create the MPEG stream (and remove the elementary stream) -imageonly [DIRECT,MPEG] create the binary image (S/VCD) or the DVD filesystem -isoonly [DIRECT,MPEG] create the DVD iso image; normally it is never created -burniso|-burnudf put the encoded stream in a iso/udf filesystem and burn it to a DVD disk; files already present on the DVD disk are preserved, use -blank to erase them (for a DVD RW) -verify verify the integrity of the burned media; recomended; it may happen that the DVD burn process shows no errors, but the disk content is not 100% identical to the source due to a bad media -encode [AVI,MPEG] the parameter n:m:i selects the audio codec, video codec options and number of pass for mencoder, possible values are: n m i 0 copy 0 copy 1 1 pcm 1 libavcodec/xvid MPEG 2 2 mp3lame/fast 2 as 1 + mbd=2 3 3 mp3lame/standard 3 as 1 + compression opts 4 libavcodec/mp2 4 as 1 + quality opts 5 libavcodec/mp3 6 libavcodec/ac3 for m=[2-4] and i>1 turbo is on 7 toolame/mp2 i<=2 for xvid 8 libfaac/aac -telecinesrc [MPEG] if you use -encode n:0:i in MPEG Mode, encode2mpeg needs to know if the source NTSC MPEG is telecined, otherwise the stream copy may not work properly; normally encode2mpeg is able to detect telecined sources, but, if the source MPEG is mixed, part not telecined and part telecined, encode2mpeg may fail to detect it. In such case, you can use this option to specify a telecined source. -turbo <0-1> [AVI,MPEG] disable (0) or force (1) turbo mode for the first pass of N pass encoding (N>1) -hispeed [AVI,MPEG] increase the encoding speed of 25-50% (with -encode n:1:1); the output video stream will be bigger and can have poor quality; this option is mainly intented for testing, but it can be used if you want to create more quickly an MPEG-4/AVI or a DVD -bframes <0-4> [AVI,MPEG] specify the number of B frames; if -encode is n:3:i the default 2, otherwise the default is no B frames; for VCD the default is 2 -vcustom [AVI,MPEG] specify a custom set of video options for libavcodec, use with -encode n:1:i -acustom [AVI,MPEG] specify a custom set of lame options (with -encode 2:m:i) or faac options (with -encode 8:m:i -encsid dump the DVD vobsub, sid is the number you give the -sid option -encsdx if you dump subtitle 2 and 4 and you want them to have id 0 and 1 use -encsid 2,4 -encsdx 0,1 -encsla see doc/html/subtitle.html -usespeed [DIRECT,MPEG] do frame rate conversion changing the playback speed; this option can be used if you are converting from NTSC 24fps, with or without telecine, to PAL 25fps and viceversa; during normal frame rate conversion, frames are skipped or duplicated as needed; with this option all the frames are encoded -usesbr [1-6|>100] [AVI,MPEG] use the suggested video bitrate to set the output stream size 1 - for 650MB CD 4 - for 2 x 650MB CD 2 - for 700MB CD (default) 5 - for 2 x 700MB CD 3 - for 800MB CD 6 - for 2 x 800MB CD n where n > 100 will set the file size to n MB with -multiaudio you must to set the streamsize in MB -setaspect [AVI,MPEG] scale and encode the video keeping the required aspect ratio, if necessary add black lines to keep the final resolution multiple of 16; n can be: 1 expand 2 shrink >100 set width to n no black lines are added if n is negative; examples: 1 a 720x576 16/9 PAL video is encoded at 1024x576 1 a 720x480 16/9 NTSC video is encoded at 864x480 (bl. lines) -1 a 720x480 16/9 NTSC video is encoded at 854x480 2 a 720x480 4/3 NTSC video is encoded at 640x480 512 encode the video at 512x384 (4/3) or 512x288 (16/9) optimal width: 640 512 320, 704 576 448 384 (4/3) 512, 624 368, 654 622 592 542 510 480 398 366 336 (16/9) -ofps [AVI] set the video frame per second of the AVI stream, useful if you want an unusual value (for example 15 fps) -profile [AVI] select a DivX/MPEG-4 profile; run 'encode2mpeg -profile doc' for more informations and the complete list of available profiles -crop [AVI,MPEG] cropping window.
