[MEncoder-users] encoding divx for Dimarson standalone player

[Towncat]

Hi all,

I have a Dimarsion DM-P377 standalone player and a Hauppauge PVR350 TV tuner
card. The tuner card has a built in mpeg encoder, and I can nicely record
from it into .mpg files. This is what I get when playing the outcoming file:


*****************************

So, I want to make a divx file that can be played straight in the divx
player, but what I get is no picture, only sound. I have tried to play older
.avi files with the player and it worked (I did not encode those myself).

This is what I use for encoding:

mencoder Filmtar/Probabad/test_clip.mpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1 -oac copy -o /dev/null

then

mencoder Filmtar/Probapad/test_clip.mpg  -idx -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell:vpass=2 -oac copy -o Filmtar/Probapad/test_clip.avi



And this is what I get with mplayer playing the resulting avi file (which
plays all right on the computer):

What settings should I try to make the movie playable in the standalone divx
player?

Thanks,
