[MEncoder-users] Sony DSC-M1 and Philips DVP642

[Rick Richardson]

Sony DSC-M1 camera wraps MP4 in a MOV format:

    $ mplayer photos/101mnv01/m4v00035.mp4
    MPlayer 1.0pre8-4.1.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team

This won't play on my Philips DVP642 player.  Video is nice, but no audio.

OK, so I re-encode the audio with:

    mencoder -ovc copy -oac mp3lame -o avi/m4v00035.avi m4v00035.mp4

This won't play video OR audio.  Player just says "STOP".  I think its because
its wrapper is now AVI:

    AVI file format detected.

Does anybody know how to get it in MOV wrapper instead of AVI wrapper???
