[Ffmpeg-devel] WMV encoding bug. WMP can't play the files (Error: C00D11B1)

[pabey at bluewin.ch]

Hi

I'm trying to convert a mpeg file to wmv. The file is playable in 
VLC but not in WMP.
I just get the error C00D11B1.

Here is a sample file which doesn't work.
http://www.mediaconverter.org/testoutput.wmv

Created with this input file:
http://www.mediaconverter.org/testinput.mpeg

With the following command:

# ffmpeg -i testinput.mpeg -vcodec wmv2 -acodec mp3 testouput.wmv

I think it stopped working with a new svn release. But I can't 
remember what version I had before.
It also doesn't work with other file types than mpeg as the input 
file.
I tried the option "-vcodec wmv1" as well as without this option 
and it doesn't work at all.

I hope somebody can help me .. it's urgent. Thank you

Kind regards
