[MEncoder-users] early exiting with mp3lame but not pcm

[Aner Ben-Artzi]

Hi.

I compiled/installed lame-3.97 and compiled/instaled the latest mplayer from
SVN.

When I run mencoder with pcm, it starts encoding fine.  However, when I run
with mp3lame, it exits very quickly

The command line:
mencoder TheMovie.vob -vf pullup,softskip,crop=720:560:0:8,harddup -ovc x264
-x264encopts bitrate=1000:subq=5:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:turbo=1:pass=1
-ofps 30000/1001 -o TheMovie.avi -oac mp3lame -aid 128

Try appending the scale filter to your filter list,
e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp.

Exiting...

The mplayer ./configure prints:
Checking for libmp3lame (for mencoder) ... yes

At the end of ./configure it prints:

The Question:
Can someone please point out why mencoder is silently exiting?  The only
environment variables I have set (that I think affect anything) is
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

Thank you.
