[MEncoder-users] wmv>>mpeg4

[Federico 'Pain' Pistono]

Hi. I have this wmv3 file that my PB does not read, since thare are no
dll for PPC architecture, hence I need to reencode it into a decent
format.


This script won't do it, give me a clue please.

[Pain@[Pain] cat /usr/local/bin/divixa 
#!/bin/bash

BITRATE=$2
opt=mpeg4:psnr:mv0:cbp:trell:mbd=2:keyint=125:naq:v4mv:vlelim=-4:vcelim=7:lumi_mask=0.05:dark_mask=0.01:tcplx_mask=0.01:scplx_mask=0.01:vratetol=32000:vbitrate=$BITRATE

# Go through all specified videos
for VIDEO in $1*
do
  mencoder -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=$opt:vpass=1 "$VIDEO"
-o /dev/null
  mencoder -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=$opt:vpass=2 "$VIDEO"
-o "$VIDEO".avi
done

It does the pass1 right, bu then it goes on segmentation fault:


 [mpeg4 @ 0x85bb3c0]requested bitrate is to low
Could not open codec.
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.
/usr/local/bin/divixa: line 8: 19642 Segmentation fault      mencoder

"$VIDEO".avi

I am recompiling the Mplayer from current cvs, the version I used for
the examples is the one of a few weeks ago.

In any case even if I do the single step it does not work well at all,
and regardless of the fact that I input 200 as bitrate it does it at a
very low one, which it cannot identify even with the -forceidx.

Am I doing something wrong? I suppose so, please help.

Regards,
Fede
