Although Windows media player will not play the audio, which is why I would like to encode this file into a format that can be played anywhere no matter which codecs are present.  I am assuming the file will be big as this will lose all forms of compression, but are there any other disadvantages?I am not familar wit encoder to even know where to start.I tried the following:C:\mplayer\1.0rc2>mencoder C:\goat.mpg -o goat.avi -of avi -ovc raw -oac copyThe output was not what I expected.  The video would hardly move, and the sound was all distorted with plenty of jitter.Can anyone help me ?  I am trying to achieve good quality output.Thanks

I won't help you unless you have some nice "carriage return" at the
end of your paragraphs, because otherwise your prose is unreadable.
