Hello

Finally I managed mpeg2enc to create a mpeg1 animation
out of some png's. The Scene contains some Isosurfaces,
a sphere wrapped around a sphere and a ground made of dies.
It's loop animation of the ground waving a bit.
Could someone please tell me if there occur problems
on playing this piece?

Thank you very much
Sebastian

It plays fine here (xine on debian/sid amd64), but the sphere looks
decidedly non-spherical. According to the info page, the res is 160x90
but the aspect ratio is set to 2.3704 (>> 1.77...), which would explain
why it is stretched.

Daniel, thank you very much.
This is weird.
MPlayer plays it fine with 160x90 which is the intended resolution
but the Gnome-Preview scales it with this 2.37 aspect ration.
Digging in mpeg2encs Docs I found this:
...
For MPEG-1 mpeg2enc infers the MPEG-1 pixel aspect code from the video 
norm specified and the specified playback aspect ratio.
...
So the given aspect ratio is silently overridden with something else.
Great...

I'll post an other try later.

Regards,
Sebastian

Ok here's another version, this time with correct aspect ratio.
The resolution should be 160x90 (16:9 obivously).
Not setting the aspect ratio manually with mpeg2enc -a 3 help.
Who knows why...

Regards,
Sebastian
