Anyone else have this:

If I render using the mpeg-2 settings and use different bit rate settings the resulting file always reports a bit rate of 10,4857 kbs when analyzed by ffprobe and when being imported into my DVD authoring software.
Interestingly ffprobe reports two different video bit rates. One is 104857 kb/s no matter what and the other is more like the requested bit rate.

eg file rendered with 1000 as the video bit rate setting
ffprobe home_movies_vol24d_PAL1000.mpg

I am guessing the files have really been encoded at different rates. File sizes are
1000 13mb
8000 71.5mb
18000 73.3mb
And the 1000kbs one is more blocky than the others

If I use my mpeg files rendered as described above in the windows TMGenc DVD authoring software (under Wine) they preview at a fast forward speed.

If I use the DVD wizard of kdenlive with these file is crashes out with:

WARN: Skipping sector, waiting for first VOBU...
ERR: SCR moves backwards, remultiplex input: 4563416160 < 4563429486


DVDAuthor process crashed.

Bloody hell. Kdnelive 0.9.4 has broken my DVD creation workflow. It used to work! I would file render .dv footage to mpg and use tmpenc under wine to author DVDs

Ok. No. Kdelive 0.9.4 has not broken my workflow. I notice from my notes that before I was using the DVD render group to make my .mpg files for DVD authoring. Previous posts I was using the file rendering section. But now if I use DVD render group I get video that works in the DVD wizard and work in my DVD authoring tmpgenc software.

So this is another case of file rendering > mpeg2 not producing DVD compatible files. Which I think I now remember was happening with previous versions too.
