Actaully, correct me if Im wrong, isn't it an AVI, with mpeg-2-compressed videostream w/ AC3 audio?
At least I was under the impression that mencoder muxed only AVI and -ovc copy simply copies the compressed stuff not
the muxed stream.

Either, way it's pretty damn obvious and has no place in the DOCS.
