Thank you for the quick reply.  I should have mentioned that I'm using
mplayer/mencoder 1.0-0.104.20090204svn on Fedora 10.  In the package that is
installed, it has /usr/bin/aconvert, not aconvert.sh.  So it looks like it
is now a binary program.  In the latest source I didn't see the aconvert.sh
script anymore either, it has the binary.

Does anybody know what the parameters are?  Again, I am looking to convert
Real Audio files to Windows Media Audio v2.  After the response above I
tried running "aconvert realaudiofile.rm windowsmediafile.rm -oac wmav2" but
it still says:

Option oac: Unknown suboption realaudiofile.rm
Error parsing option on the command line: -oac

Thanks again!
