Hi grepper,
sorry, I failed to mention which version I'm using :-( Actually, I tried tovid-svn_r3493 after I ran into the error. The latest svn version still uses "-s" for ffmpeg instead of "-vf scale=.."
naur root/s# tovid mpg -aspect 235:100 -quality 10 -ffmpeg -pal -noask -dvd -overwrite -in test.mkv -out test.mkv
Read options from /root/.tovid/tovid.ini:

Using ffmpeg to encode audio and video.
Encoding video and audio with the following command:
nice -n 0 ffmpeg -i "/export/root/s/test.mkv" -threads 4 -target pal-dvd -qmin 1 -qmax 31 -b 9000k -ab 224k -ac 6 -r 25.000 -s 720x448 -vf pad=720:576:0:64,setdar=16:9 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -y "/export/root/s/test.mkv.mpg"
Processing started. Please wait...
Then tovid aborts, telling me everything was fine and my video should be in test.mkv.mpg, which is empty. Executing the ffmpeg command manually I get the error described in the first post.
cu,
