[MPlayer-users] Can Mencoder generate "mpeg-es" files with sound?

[hob4bit -]

HI, yes WMP is very stupid. It was my stupidity. I worked out how to make 
WMP play the
movie. I made an AVI file by accident as I forgot the "-of mpeg" option:

ID_DEMUXER=avi
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=mpg1

Once fixed:

ID_DEMUXER=mpegps
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=0x10000001

I used:

$MENCODE -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts \
vcodec=$VCODEC:vrc_maxrate=$VMRATE:vbitrate=$VRATE:keyint=15:acodec=$ACODEC:\
abitrate=$ARATE $FLAGS -of mpeg -o "$@"

I had to write wrapper scripts called "xvid", "divx" and "mpg" to make WMP 
playable files.
Mencode is very good software but the options are difficult to understand. 
However, it is not
as hard to understand than "transcode". The "mplayer -identify" option is 
sure useless

Thanks
