[MEncoder-users] What's wrong with this script (encoding x264 in mkv-container)

[Al Bogner]

If I replace *.mpg with 1 existing filename, the script works. What do I have 
to do to encode a few mpg-files to 1 mkv-file? Any improvement of the options 
are welcome of course!



#!/bin/sh

mencoder *.mpg -aspect 16/9 -vf yadif=0,softskip,harddup -nosound -ovc x264 -
x264encopts 
bitrate=3500:subq=5:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:turbo=1:threads=auto:pass=1 -
of rawvideo -o /dev/null

mencoder *.mpg -aspect 16/9 -vf yadif=0,softskip,harddup -nosound -ovc x264 -
