  Hello everybody.

I had a problem with burning dvd's from my recordings on my
system. The system is a FC3 based, and VDR and DVB packages are
installed from cachalot repository.

Some version information of conversion software:
mjpegtools-1.6.3-0.lvn.0.1.rc1
y4mscaler-0.6.2-0.lvn.1
ImageMagick-6.2.2.0-2.fc3
vdr-burn-0.0.6g-0.6.pre3

The problem occured when the burn script started making menu,
failing the mpeg2enc-command.

I managed to burn DVD's changin one (actually two lines) line
in the script. Here is the patch:

                 mplex -f 8 -vbr -v 1 -o /dev/stdout "$2/menu-bg-$3.m2v" 
"$4/menu-silence.mp2" |

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Jani Frilander

Right.

That patch will probably work with the above version combination, but it
will also result in breakage with mjpegtools < 1.6.3.

The root cause is that you're not using compatible (well, or "same
generation") versions of mjpegtools and y4mscaler.  If you have
mjpegtools >= 1.6.3-RC1, you should be using y4mscaler 8.1, not 0.6.2.

I've just (re-)uploaded it for FC3.   Note also that I'm currently
slowly rebuilding and adjusting everything for FC4 and purging the FC3
repository.

...and that, obviously, is a temporary problem with my repository, not
your fault.
