[MEncoder-users] xvidencopts is not an MEncoder option

[Alexey]

Hi all,

have there been some recent changes with mencoder? A script of mine that
encodes video with xvid-codec gives me an error that "xvidencopts is not
an MEncoder option". I checked the syntax and also tried out some older
version that worked 100% and they give the same error.

I updated mplayer to the newest version and than downgraded it to
1.0pre5-r5 again (gentoo portage). Maybe something got mixed up.


This is the COMMAND:

mencoder dvd://6 -dvd-device /home/user/tmp/image -nosound -ovc xvid
-xvidencopts :bitrate=-2000000:pass=1:vhq=4:me_quality=6:chroma_me:quant_type=mpeg:max_bframes=2:gmc -o /home/user



And this is the OUTPUT:

Any ideas?
