[MEncoder-users] x264 interlaced encoding won't play with Nero showtime

[Pierre Catello]

Hello everyone,

I encoded some interlaced dvb material Mencoder using the x264 codec.
Without interlaced encoding, the resulting file plays fine in Nero showtime
(as well as other players). But when enabling interlaced encoding, only
Mplayer seems to work, although there is a warning about MBAFF lacking :

...
[h264 @ 00C69A50]MBAFF + spatial direct mode is not implemented
...

The parameters I use for Mencoder are :

mencoder "$1" -endpos 120 -ovc x264 -x264encopts "crf=20:subq=4:qcomp=
0.75:bframes=2:nob_pyramid:weight_b:interlaced" -oac copy -o "$1".x264.avi

and I'm running version:

Did I use incompatible options, or did I forget something ?
