Fair enough, but when I tried this using ffmpeg-devel-2007.04.29_2,
this is what happened:
freebsd% ffmpeg -i original.dvd.image.vob worth.a.try.mpg
[lots of output]
freebsd& % midentify worth.a.try.mpg
ID_VIDEO_ID=0
ID_AUDIO_ID=0
ID_FILENAME=worth.a.try.mpg
ID_DEMUXER=mpegps
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=0x10000001
ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=0
ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=720
ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=480
ID_VIDEO_FPS=29.970
ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000
ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=80
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0
ID_AUDIO_RATE=0
ID_AUDIO_NCH=0
ID_LENGTH=1277.41
ID_VIDEO_CODEC=mpegpes
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=64000
ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000
ID_AUDIO_NCH=2
ID_AUDIO_CODEC=mp3 <<== Real Producer doesn't like this either...
freebsd% ./producer -i worth.a.try.mpg -o worth.a.try.rm
RealProducer(R) Basic 11.1 Build number: 11.1.0.2676
Info: Missing RIFF header. worth.a.try.mpg is not a valid AVI file.
Error: Failure to load reader for file worth.a.try.mpg
Error: Unable to initialize input
Error: Failed to initialize inputs
Done Errors: 3 Warnings: 0
Recall that the Real Producer (basic) insists on one of three input
file formats: *.AVI, *.MOV or *.WAV
Maybe I misunderstood your suggestion(s), but this approach seems doomed.
I need to create Real Media output for our WWW site even though this is
not the 1990s. :-)
Regards,
