In Media Info for the original VOB it says:
Bit rate mode: Variable
Bit rate: 179 Mbps
Nominal bit rate: 5.744 Kbps
When this VOB is resaved by itself in Womble to an MPEG-2 (no editing, just resaved), Media Info says:
Bit rate mode: Variable
Bit rate: 5 744 Kbps (no period)
(there are no additional lines about bitrate that follow)
In Gspot for both files:
Bitrate: 5755 kbps
At the top, it is noted that the codec is MPEG2
What else should I look for in Gspot? (This is when it would help if Encore could tell me the parameter it's choking on, or if I knew the accepted parameter list!)
