[MEncoder-users] Converting raw grayscale stream to xvid or other video

[Sarag]

This ended up working:
mencoder red.raw -rawvideo w=1024:h=768:fps=24.0:size=786432:y8 -demuxer
rawvideo -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=600 -noskip -o output.avi

Thanks a lot for your time and patience with me. You have been incredibly
helpful.

Also, you mentioned the "on" option. I had used this in prior code of mine
and when running it it now fails (having worked at some point mid to late
last year).

Did you mean like this?
mencoder red.raw -rawvideo w=1024:h=768:fps=24.0:size=786432:y8: -ovc xvid
-xvidencopts bitrate=600 -noskip -o output.avi

Because that (as was similarly used by me evidently a while ago) now fails
with:
Option rawvideo: Unknown suboption on
Exiting... (error parsing cmdline)

Anyway, thanks again for your assistance.
