ok,

i checked mplayer -v , it told me fps=12

so i used mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -ofps 12 small.asf -o out.avi
now mencoder skipped frames every 0.1 seconds but out.avi was much better, 
thanks

the audio was ok, but the video...it's hard to describe... the quality is
better than before, but still worse than the asf
for example at the beginning there is a title picture which fades into black.
in the asf it's ok, but in the avi the while fading i can see those 
rectangular areas in the avi

.... i checked ... mplayer  used the same video codec for
the asf and for the avi ( mpeg4ds )... 
so how can the quality be worse?

bye,
gabor
