[MEncoder-users] XBOX 360 transcode

[Pawel Pietkiewicz]

Thanks, but that still didn't solve the problem. I've ran the command
without the passes and the 360 says the file is invalid. It plays fine in
VLC and mplayer. Could it have something to do with the h.264 profiles,
muxing or audio format (I don't think it's the b-frames because the default
setting in h.264 is b_frame=0). Any idea what I am doing wrong? This is the
latest in my mencoder command:

mencoder esd-tkug-sample.avi -of lavf -lavfopts
format=mp4:i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames -o
sample.mp4 -oac faac -faacopts br=128:mpeg=4:object=1 -ovc x264 -x264encopts
threads=4:bitrate=1000:subq=6:frameref=3
