Why are you mapping both channel 3 and channel 4 into channel 3? I would
expect that that might produce errors.


===================================================


Outsch, that was a typo.


But 

-af channels=6:6:1:1:2:2:3:3:4:4:5:5:6:6

leads exactly to the same output.:


Forcing output FourCC to 44495658 [XVID].
[channels] Invalid routing in pair nr. 5.
[libaf] Reinitialization did not work, audio filter 'channels' returned error code -2
Error at audio filter chain pre-init!




I will try to play around a little as well, maybe me the blind will see something. As far as I know the only ac3 encoder which can do frame rate conversion from PAL to NTSC besides mencoder is the old windows tool BeSweet. Maybe as a first work around I use this with wine in between.

Kind regards
