[MEncoder-users] Xvid 1.1.2 and Sigma EM8621L

["Cédric MARCOUX (sprimont)"]

Just tried with

-xvidencopts bitrate=1000:qpel=0:gmc=0:max_bframes=0:quant_type=h263
and
-xvidencopts bitrate=1000:qpel=0:gmc=0:max_bframes=0

Don't read

so the best settings is
mencoder test.avi -noodml -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=0:cbr:br=192 -ovc
xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1000:qpel=0:gmc=0 -vf scale=720:576 -ffourcc
DIVX -o converted.avi

wich read some frame after that freeze and still play sound....

This really make me mad cause there is a lot of divx on my player that 
work!?
