[MEncoder-users] Where is my video ?

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 yesterday I encoded the record of a TV movie with these two line:


  #!/bin/sh
  mencoder $1 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vqmin=2:trell:autoaspect:vpass=1:vbitrate=1200 -vf hqdn3d=2:1:2 -mc 0 -o /dev/null
  mencoder $1 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vqmin=2:trell:autoaspect:vpass=2:vbitrate=1200 -vf hqdn3d=2:1:2 -mc 0  -o $2

 (its a script...thats why there are $1/$2...)

 After a while the result was ready.

 BUT!...There was only audio, no video window was opened by mplayer...
 It said:

 There was no othe application running, which may block video output
 or claiming that resources...

 Kaffeine could play that file with video and audio though...


 Does Mplayer does not recognize its own files...or what did I here
 that wrong ?


 Thank you very much for any help in advance!
