[MPlayer-users] 3pass mencoding creates shorter length video stream than the original

[Georgi Hristov]

hi,

i'd like to submit some kind of a bugreport, but the bug is in the end file,
not in the information mencoder prints. for the last 2 movies i made i used
cvs versions from 2003 01 03 and then from yesterdays cvs with same problem.
I reencode an ac3 movie to vbr mp3 and lower the video rate to fit 1cd, in 3
passes. problem is the frameno.avi is fine, and then the resulting movie
after the 3rd pass is few seconds smaller, and with tottaly unsynced sound.
i tried audiodumping the frameno, and then combining it with the video of
the original with virtualdub (plus divx502 reencoding)- the result is fine,
plus i've done this exercise a lot of times before, and there must be
something in mencoder these days.

then i got a pretty long list of these in the begining, but this was never a
problem before, afair.
