[MPlayer-users] name of used video codec is not saved - BUG?

[Alexander Fieroch]

Hello,

I'm recording videos from analog tv to mpeg2 videos with the following
commandline:

$ /usr/bin/mencoder -tv
driver=v4l2:input=0:width=768:height=576:outfmt=yv12:device=/dev/video0:adevice=/dev/dsp2:audiorate=44100:forceaudio:forcechan=2:buffersize=512
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=5000 -oac mp3lame
-lameopts cbr:br=128:mode=0  -o tv--10.11_2313.avi tv://

The video seems to be ok, but the used video codec seems not to be
written to the file. The command "file" returns an empty string for the
video codec:

$ file tv--10.11_2313.avi
tv--10.11_2313.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 768 x 576, 25.00
fps, video:, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 44100 Hz)

Is that a bug? How can I add this information?

Regards,
Alexander

PS: I have tried MEncoder 1.0pre7-3.3.5 and MEncoder 1.0pre7try2-3.3.5
