[MPlayer-users] Encoding to Archos Jukebox

[John Lavin]

Hi all - I had posted a while back about my attempts to encode to a
format that the Archos Jukebox will recognize and haven't tried again
until now.  They give a sample divx file that I've been using as a
baseline and I can get the mplayer -v output close, but still am unable to
get Archos to recognize it.

There is a flag:  FCC: divx that is not being set by the following
command, that if not there, the player doesn't attempt to play the
video.  I'm also not sure what TRUST_CKTYPE is or if it is significant:

mencoder matrix.mpg -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:preset=128 -ovc lavc
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=10:vstrict=1 -ofps 20 -ffourcc DX50 -vop
scale=352:160 -o movie.avi

Any thoughts on what I could try to get this to be accepted on the
player?

Thanks,
-john

Here's the -v output from the working sample:
