[MEncoder-users] greetings & question about rm2mp3

[Jiří Mothejzík]

Hallo, 
firstly I have one bug for report - when I wanted to subscribe by clicking on recieved link, there was a "page doesn't exist" error. The link was    http://mplayerhq.hu/mailman/confirm/mencoder-users/aa4b5bae9062b568d6beaa459a2b9949c14ef0fc .


And now my question - is it possible to use mencoder to recode sound files? I have some very nice language courses in real audio. But I'd like to burn them and play in my stereo (with mp3 support). So what I need is to convert all these files into mp3 files with similat quality.

I downloaded mplayer source and some codecs, putted codecs in correct directory and compiled mplayer. But it seems to me that there are two problems (one wouldn't be enough, sure):
- "Video stream is mandatory!"
- i don't have mp3 codec for encoding..?

When I try mplayer 01.ra, it seems it works (computer is my fileserver, it doesn't have any graph. card nor sound card, but there is status message saying "playing" and three counters running), so I think decoding real audio is not the problem, problem is with encoding it with mp3 codec.

Any ideas, please?

Thank you,
JiMo:)
