Hi
I used to be able to convert files to DVD format using commands like this:-
ffmpeg -i foo -target pal-dvd foo.mpg

But when I try that now I get an error like this:-
Invalid encoder type 'ac3

There are errors with all these commands:-

ffmpeg -i foo -target dvd foo.mpg
Invalid encoder type 'ac3'

ffmpeg -i foo -target pal-dvd foo.mpg
Invalid encoder type 'ac3'

ffmpeg -i foo -target vcd foo.mpg
Invalid encoder type 'mp2'

ffmpeg -i foo -target pal-vcd foo.mpg
Invalid encoder type 'mp2'

I know that both my ac3 and mp2 encoders work OK.
So has something changed recently with the 'target' commands?


***********************************
This is the output when using "-target pal-dvd"

@ubuntu:~$ ffmpeg -i foo -target pal-dvd foo.mpg
