[MPlayer-users] Is there any solution for "2pass curve failed to converge" ?

[Vijay Gill]

Hi,

I tried looking into the archives of mplayer users / dev MLs but could
not find any solution for the problem in question. I am trying to
encode an MPEG2 file created by PVR350 (so source is MPEG2) into a DVD
compliant MPEG2 at a lower bitrate and resolution using KVCD matrices.

Following lines are from the mencoder.conf (I use profiles)

mc=0
ovc=lavc=yes
of=mpeg=yes
lavcopts=intra_matrix=8,9,12,22,26,27,29,34,9,10,14,26,27,29,34,37,12,14,18,27,29,34,37,38,22,26,27,31,36,37,38,40,26,27,29,36,39,3
