[MPlayer-users] Mencoder lavc/mpeg4 output - no audio under WIn32 ?!

[Kingsley]

Hi,

I've converted some MPEG2 video to xvid, but when I play it on
a windows box (works fine under linux) there is no codec for the
audio.

I've installed xvid codecs, divx too, even the "Nimo codec pack",
still no deal... even virtual-dub gives up on it.

Any ideas?

My typical command lines are: (3 passes)

mencoder -ovc frameno -o frameno.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128:vol=9

mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vpass=1:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=888:vhq:v4mv:vqmin=2:aspect=1.7777  \
           -oac copy -vop scale=480:352,pp=0x200000,crop=530:574:95:0 \
           <input-file> -o <output-file>

mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vpass=2:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=888:vhq:v4mv:vqmin=2:aspect=1.7777  \
          -oac copy -vop scale=480:352,pp=0x200000,crop=530:574:95:0 \
           <input-file> -o <output-file>


I can supply a sample input & output if anyone thinks it necessary.


I've been searching for a solution to this for weeks!
I tried using vbr - same result.

thanks,
