[MPlayer-users] Converting size of a movie file.

[Achim Dannecker]

Hi,
thanks for the response, but I tried this option earlier with the -ovc 
copy option (I thought that is the way just to but the extra thing above 
and below) but this does not work. Now I tried it again but with -ovc 
lavc ... then this thing works fine.

Dont know if this is a feature or a bug.

Thanks Achim
