[MEncoder-users] Mencoder h.264 incompatibility?

[Jim Driscoll]

I create ipod Compatible Files with:


-af volume=13:1 -aspect 16:9 -of lavf -lavfopts
format=psp:i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames  -oac lavc
-ovc lavc -lavcopts
aglobal=1:vglobal=1:coder=1:vcodec=mpeg4:acodec=aac:vbitrate=640:abitrate=12
8 -vf scale=374:214,crop=368:208:3:3,pp=fa,harddup -info name="": -ofps
24000/1001 

The volume is in there for DVD sources. And obviously this is for a 16:9
source.

Mencoder doesn't seem to set the bit rate correctly for AAC when combined
with h264 for ipods.  If someone knows how to get aac and h264 to work with
JUST Mencoder please reply.

Change the mpeg4 to h264 and you have a PSP compatible file, OR you can add
-srate 24000, but you can get higher quality audio on the PSP with h264.

Can someone please post all options necessary for mencoder to create
mp4-files which play on an iPod?

I'd think that would be a valuable addition for the manual, too.
