[MPlayer-cygwin] NOVIRUS: ra -> mp3 conversion using mencoder

[Wrigley, Ave]

Hi,

I am trying to do a conversion from .ra to .mp3 using mencoder. I am
using the windows binary from
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32-beta/. I am using the
following command line options "-novideo -oac mp3lame -o foo.mp3
foo.ra". Any idea why I am getting "Video stream mandatory"? I am using
a -novideo option, although I guess maybe it is trying to create an AVI
file with an MP3 audio stream?

Ave.
