ffmpeg help - 16:9 HD -> 4:3 SD

[zehd]

ok i'm annoying but i just played with a file that had dropped frames (bad reception duh)... well audio got out of sync so i added -async 15 like this:

ffmpeg.exe -y -i "sample.mpg" -b 4000k -ac 2 -ab 128k -r 29.97 -s 1184x500 -f svcd -cropleft 240 -cropright 240 -croptop 20 -aspect 4:3 -async 15 -threads 8 "test1.mpg"

i guess i cant think of anything else for now

You are not annoying me. I was just fighting with sync problems... This is good stuff

Here's the ffmpeg command line I used to convert the Fox animation from 720p to a reasonable SD equivalent:

ffmpeg" -i %1 -cropleft 150 -cropright 150 -aspect 4:3 -b 4000000 -vcodec mpeg2video -s 720x480 -r 29.97 -acodec mp2 -ac 2 -ab 256000 SD_OUT.mpg

1080i requires different crop values, 220 IIRC.

In any case I wanted to archive the value I'm using for future reference.

I would say those numbers are in the ballpark of what I calculate

Where do I put those settings to so GBPVR will automatically transcode the file after the recording finishes? I assume once that setting is in I can have the file set to transcode when I setup the recording.
