Having problems with my transcode :(

[maxxon]

I've been trying to get ffmpeg to transcode files automatically for me, but I've been having some problems with the playback. It would work for a time (1/2 an hour to an hour) and then crash my dvd player, requiring me to turn it off and on again via the power button.

My command lines look like this (this is a code fragment in batch which is attached):

ffmpeg -i "%infile%" -vtag DIVX -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -aspect %dar% -s %resolution% -b:v %vbps% \
  -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128000 -ar 48000 -ac 2 -pass 1 -passlogfile %passLogFile% -y NUL
ffmpeg -i "%infile%" -vtag DIVX -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -aspect %dar% -s %resolution% -b:v %vbps% \
  -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128000 -ar 48000 -ac 2 -pass 2 -passlogfile %passLogFile% -y "%outfile%.avi"

This is a patchwork of several command lines I've seen on the web. The other code not shown is my attempt in semi-automating the process. Can anyone give me an idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,
