[MEncoder-users] nosound switch, where do I get a detailed info on that?

[Peter J. P-N]

Hi

I use mencoder to encode video streams into m2v only and then 'mplex' it
with ac3 or mp2. I encode it in the manner of:

mencoder -of rawvideo \
-mpegopts \
....
-nosound \
-oac copy \
-ovc lavc \
-lavcopts \
....
-o elementary.video.stream.m2v

The input file is e.g. a h264 stream.
The target is to encode dvd compliant m2v stream compatible with mplex.
It works my way, however, I found some advices for not to use the
-nosound switch. Where can I find more insight on that particular switch?

Thx in advance
Peter
