[MEncoder-users] wmv to avi

[Adrian Dusa]

Dear MEncoder users,

I am trying to convert a .wmv file to .avi using mencoder. It works as
expected, but the output file has a time length 10 times shorter than
the input file.

To be short, it is about a chess game with various pauses between two
consecutive moves. The output video file, however, simply shows the
moves without any pause, skipping the pauses. From a 10 minutes input
file, the output has only 1 minute.

I tried a 2 pass encoding, under a Kubuntu Maverick distribution:

mencoder blah.wmv -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1 -oac copy -noskip -of
avi -o /dev/null
mencoder blah.wmv -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=1000 -fps 25
-of avi -noskip -o blah.avi

Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian
