[MEncoder-users] Trying to deinterlace & resize 1080i content - argh

[Mark Lehrer]

Hello there.  My system isn't quite powerful enough to play 1080i content
back with deinterlacing (VLC + linear or bob does the best job, but not
quite good enough).

So I am trying to deinterlace & resize the program so I don't have to do
it in real time.  However, I am having a tough time with mencoder.  Could
someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?  My command line is:

mencoder tennis.mpg -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vqscale=3:v4mv:autoaspect:trell -vf tfields,scale=480:270 -fps 60000/1001 -ofps 60000/1001 -o test.avi

The problem seems to be with a/v sync.  If I specify -nosound, the video
plays back beautifully.  However, if I use -oac copy, I have two problems.
First, these ugly looking messages:

...

As you can see, this happens quite often.  The second problem is that
when I play the video back, it is obvious that frames are missing.  I
don't think it is bad enough to detect on content such as a movie -
but it makes sports really annoying to watch.

Any idea what I can try to make this work better?

Thanks,
