[MEncoder-users] How to create "really standard" MPEG1 files?

[Mario Valle]

I need to assemble images into a "really standard" MPEG1 movie. Ie the result should play 
everywere without any new codec installation.
Can you suggest a sane set of mencoder options?
I tried with the following setup:

opt=vbitrate=1152:mbd=2:aspect=1:vrc_maxrate=1152:vrc_minrate=1152:keyint=15:vrc_buf_size=327

mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=800:$opt \
-of mpeg -mpegopts format=mpeg1 -mc 0 -noskip -vf harddup \
-mf type=png:w=320:h=416:fps=24 -nosound -o movie.mpg mf://image\*.png

But the resulting file does not works with, for example, Windows Media Player.
The biggest difference with a working file is that the working one is MPEG-ES (from 
mplayer -identify), instead the mencoded one is MPEG-PS.

Help!
