hi,

i've read your script a was impressed your skills. my script above looks much more hacky than your does. but the way to use pvastrumento and transcode seems to result in better quality for myself, because i don't have to press the whole movie on one cdrom and can use my preffered bitrate-settings. the splitting-feature guarantizes the chunk-size.
but the suggestion to use some bitrate-calculation to enable an one-cd-size option makes sense.

how about syncing-problems in mencoder? are video and audio streams full synchronised like the pvastrumento does it in excellent way? are there cutting borders and resizing options further more?
i 've tried mencoder in early stage but was not impressed too much.

regards,
Andreas Reichel
