[MEncoder-users] Mencoder SIMPLY Freezes or gives a mpg123: Can't rewind stream by 20 bits! error

[Lucas Linard]

Nico Sabbi:
Thanks dude, the mpg123 error stopped. But what can I do about the
freeze?? It jsut freezes, with no message or something (at least as
far as I know).
this is the output:

and it simply STOPS. Is there another way I can make quality mpg (to
create a dvd video) using mencoder?
I am using the following command
mencoder movie.avi -sub sub.srt -subcp latin1 -ovc lavc -oac lavc -of
mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf -vf
crop=572:312,scale=720:400,expand=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af
lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts

-o "/dev/null" -ofps 24000/1001 -ac mad

after that I use the same, but without turbo, and with vpass=2

can you point me a way to prevent the freeze? again, thanks a LOT for
the -ac mad tip.
