[MPlayer-users] "Freebox" and HD videos encoded with mencoder

[Mathieu Westphal]

Hello

I have a multimedia server provided by my isp ( Free , i'm French ), 
wich has the capability to play movie on my television.

But this player cannot read chinese subtitles. So the current solution i 
use is to rencode hard-coded sub movie wich can be used without any 
problem on the "freebox" .

Anyway, if it work well with standard movies and dvd, it do not work 
with High Res movie. I've tried lot of different video codec for the 
reencoding, and some work on mplayer, but non seems to work on the player.

And the original video play just fine, without any problem.

So what is the "standard" way to encode high res movie with mencoder?

Anyway here are the information about the "freebox" :
