Hi!

I've been encoding a dvd to a avi this night, and in order to keep the
different audio tracks, I've produced two frameno videos. To store
it I normally keep those two framenos and strip the audio from the 
videofile. This worked until now, but mencoder ignores the -nosound
parameter. It looks like this:

-----------------------------------------------
mencoder -ovc copy -nosound -o out second

No audio encoder (-oac) selected! Select one or use -nosound. Use -oac help!

Strange, isn't it? It used to work for a long time.

mencoder -nosound -ovc copy -nosound -o out -nosound second -nosound
doesn't work neither, it gives the same result ;-)

mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -xvidencopts pass=2 -o hdresp.avi second 
still works as espected, it gives me the video with the other audio stream
as desired but by stripping the audio I could save 150 MB.
I can't use -dumpvideo since this doesn't produce a valid avi stream
and I can't think of a different way to do it.
