[MPlayer-users] Creating mpeg1 with Mencoder (0.90pre10)

[Ulrich Petri]

Hi,

i'm trying to create a mpeg1 file from a mpeg2pes (recorded from a dvb
card).

I'm using the following command:
# mencoder -vop scale=352:288 -oac copy -ovc lavc \
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=1152 \
001.vdr -o 001.vdr.mpg

and mplayer gives me:

---------------------snap--------------------

which looks imho quite good.
BUT I have some problems with it:
- why does it create an AVI header
- why does it use "mpg1" as FOURCC (Windows Mediaplayer does not
recognize this)
- the output file is complely garbled when viewed with Windows
Mediaplayer (even when stripping the avi header)
- virtualdub does not recognize the file (neither with nor w/o avi
header)

so therefore: please help!
What did i do wrong?
