[MPlayer-users] mencoder no audio encoding

[Steve Stavropoulos]

With cvs version 1.27 of mencoder.c there is the following message in the
screen and the audio doesn't get encoded:

Starts like this:

if I live it for longer it goes like this:

 The command line is:
mencoder -dvd 1 -aid 128 -ovc divx4 -oac mp3lame -divx4opts br=1000
-lameopts q=2:vbr=1 -pass 1

Before a couple of days it was working with another dvd just fine with the
exact same command line but without the -aid switch (the known old bug).

 just checked the behaviour of the various revisions o mencoder.c and the
results are:

cvs verion <=1.22  --->  the known DEMUXER error (beacause of -aid 128),
but audio, when -aid is not used, is encoded normally.

cvs version>=1.23  --->  audio isn't encoded (-aid bug gone) even if I
don't put any -aid switch

same behaviour (no sound) I get when I don't put an -aid switch in the
command line.

 Please tell me if you like more information.
