[MEncoder-users] encode to h264 (flash support)

[Ing. Branislav Gerzo]

Hello all,

after recent flash player update
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/hd_video_flash_player.html
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flash_Player:9:Update:H.264

I am trying using mencoder to encode video to h264 and audio to aac.
Firt, I am working with video, so I want make be sure, audio is not
problem.

I am using this command:
mencoder amy1.flv -oac mp3lame -srate 44100 -lameopts \
vbr=2:q=8:aq=0:mode=1:lowpassfreq=16000 -ovc x264 -x264encopts \
threads=auto:subq=5:partitions=4x4:8x8dct:frameref=3:me=hex:bframes=4:b_pyramid:psnr:bitrate=348\
-of lavf -lavfopts format=mov -o amy1.mp4

I am doing certainly something wrong. I downloaded youtube mp4 and
analyze it a little bit, here are main differencies between my and
youtube mp4, which plays in flash:
