I have mp4 zen creative player , with old mencoder on lincux (old - from a
year ago) i could encode to xvid and is playable (but always cut 5-8 sec at
end) the same video on windows play good , with current mencoder and the
same optimization line (what is similar to yours) is playable like a stream
, zen mp4 cant read length of video and i can't seek to new position , when
start i can only stop ... I think its still related with mencoder
