[MEncoder-users] WMV problems

[Christophe Ruelle]

Hello everyone,

I'm a new subscriber.
I'd like to come back to the WMV problems and the mencoder vs ffmpeg
discussion.

Is this true?  ffmpeg does a better job of transcoding except when
container is avi and using filters???

Something is still unclear to me. I'm using MPlayer / Mencoder to encode
all types of video files into FLV mostly because it has *so many  
codecs* (win32).

I have a bunch of different video files and mencoder does a good job  
99% of
the time - even if I had to tweak mencoder parameters to avoid a/v  
desync just
like this WMV problem is described.

For me ffmpeg does not read many video formats (can't read real-audio  
video files
for instance).

So what is the best way to convert electic kind of video files into FLV?

Thanks for any help.

Christophe.
