If you're only having problems with the audio when playing back in
avidemux then don't worry about that too much, it still encodes it
fine. If you want, email me on this address with your valid email
address and I'll email you my DVD encoding presets, they encode using
x264 so it takes a long time (about 4-5 hours for a DVD) but at 1KBit
the quality is extremely good, much better than divx or xvix. MPlayer
or VLC will play it back fine.

Could you post them here too.

I would be interested in them as well and I am sure others would too.

TIA

Well, here's the DVD-Medium settings, whether it'll come across usenet
OK or not is another matter.. I don't have a DVD-High settings file as
I found DVD-Medium to be fine. DVD-Low just has the audio bitrate and
video bitrate lower. These settings are mostly changed x264 settings
as recommended on various wikis I've stumbled across, very slow to
encode but good quality.

On interlaced content I add in an interlacing filter, but with x264 at
1000kbits/s I don't find it necessary to scale the video resolution.
Look at the "crop" filter too on video that doesn't fill the whole
frame.

Save it out as <filename>.js and load it into avidemux using "Load/Run
project" or put it into the custom folder in ~/.avidemux and it'll
appear on the "Custom" menu in the application.
