[MPlayer-users] encode2mpeg 0.3.1 possible bug but encoding OK

[Erick Perez]

My command line was:
Movie: XVID/AC3/PAL
encode2mpeg 0.3.1

encode2mpeg forgo1.avi -n n -mpegonly -o theforgo1 -svcd -encode 0:2:2
-a 3 -mpeg >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

BTW I never used -ac3 copy because it always ended with nothing being
done. So i strip that parameter. I suppose that not inlcuding it makes
encode2mpeg use mencoder to make an mp2 right?
also, it will be nice to know what parameters are automagically
generated when you do -vcd/-svcd/-dvd

I did the dev/null stuff because there were hundres of
buffer_underflow error being written to the screen. Its just plain
ugly.
