[MPlayer-users] Problems encoding with crop

[Pete Ashdown]

I am having an problem encoding lavc mpeg4 with a crop.  It will go through
the motions of doing the encode, but the final file does not playback.  When I
encode without a crop, it works just fine.  In spite of what the error says
below, other files play fine on my setup.

Original MPEG:
Cache fill:  0.00% (0 bytes)    MPEG-PS file format detected.
VIDEO:  MPEG2  720x576  (aspect 2)  25.000 fps  8000.0 kbps (1000.0 kbyte/s)

3 pass encoding:

mencoder input.mpg  -alang en -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -lameopts
cbr:br=192:aq=0 -ofps 25 -o frameno.avi

mencoder input.mpg -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts \
 vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1:vbitrate=1200:v4mv:trell:autoaspect:mbd=2 \
 -vf crop=706:440:8:68 -ofps 25 -o output.avi

The error given playing the result:
