Can anyone tell me, in simple terms, how I can convert some MPEG2 files to MPEG1?
I'm currently trying:-
ffmpeg -i 'Head In The Clouds.mpg' -target vcd-y /home/chris/tmp/maxine/hitc.mpg
but this produces a zero length output file, do I need something more to get it to work?
Try "ffmpeg -i infile -vcodec msmpeg4 -acodec mp3 outfile.avi"
if the mp3 audio codec gives problems, try faac.
(and I recommend you get hold of a copy of winff - a pretty good gui front end to ffmpeg)

The text file for RFC 854 contains exactly 854 lines. Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
