[MEncoder-users] rc2 mencoder incapable of muxing a/v?

[R.L. Horn]

Whoops, accidently sent this to the wrong list last night.  Maybe I can 
get it right this time...

I just downloaded and built 1.0rc2 and upon playback of video encoded with the 
new mencoder, I get nonsense like this:

   A:18693.9 V:  40.3 A-V:18653.623 ct:  4.029 967/967  3%  0%  0.3% 0 0

with the audio and video, obviously, hopelessly out of sync.  Previously, 
I'd seen behavior like this only when attempting to use -audiofile with 
ac3 streams (on-the-fly encoding always worked fine).  The command line 
that resulted in the above was:

    mencoder -ovc lavc -oac lavc \
    -lavcopts acodec=ac3:abitrate=128 -endpos 120

(input is avi generated using rc1: FMP4, 192kbps AC3)

and version information:

   MEncoder 1.0rc2-4.1.1 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team
   CPU: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+ (Family: 15, Model: 31, Stepping: 0)
   CPUflags: Type: 15 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1
   Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE SSE2

Other audio coders, bitrates, etc. appear to produce the same result.  I can 
separate out the audio and video and remux with avimerge to produce a playable 
file.

I looked through the archives and didn't see any mention of this.  Since it 
renders mencoder pretty much unusable, this is somewhat surprising.  Am I the 
only one?
