VLC Convert to MPG2 for Alcorn McBride DVM 7400

[asjones]

I am trying to use VLC to convert some videos to a MPG2 format to play on an older Alcorn McBride DVM 7400. I have not gotten the format right just yet and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Below are some extra specs on the format. Any and all help would be appreciated.

thanks

Video format info

The DVM plays MPG files that contain digital video encoded in high-resolution by an
algorithm known as MPEG-2.

Many encoding systems produce MPEG-2 files, but not all MPEG-2 files may be
played on the DVM. Many MPEG-2 files are designed for playback in a small window
on a PC, or for transfer over the internet. These files are generally of very low
resolution at slow frame rates.

The DVM is designed to accept MPEG-2 files encoded at a resolution of 720 x 480
(NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL).

The DVM can play MPEG-2 files encoded at bit rates up to 15.0 Megabits per second.
Since higher bit rates equate to better picture quality, we encourage you to encode
your video at the highest bit rate supported.

The DVM only plays MPEG-2 Program Streams. This stream is a Variable or
Constant bitrate stream containing both audio and video information. In order to
achieve playback of video only, you must encode an elementary stream of silent
audio that will be combined with your elementary video stream to create a program
stream. A program stream is not the same as a DVD VOB file. The DVM does not
play VOB files.
