Is this also supposed to work for *.VDR Files ?

If i try cat 001.vdr | mencoder -divx4opts br=1050 -pp 0x20000 -pass 1 -

I get the following output:

Reading /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf: 18 audio & 39 video codecs
Reading from stdin...
success: format: 0  data: 0x0 - 0x0
MPEG packet stats: p100: 262  p101: 255  PES: 2122
MPEG packet stats: p100: 239  p101: 238  PES: 2117
header block 1 size: 12
============= Sorry, this file format not recognized/supported

=== If this file is an AVI, ASF or MPEG stream, please contact the author!

Cannot open demuxer

It seems as if mencoder refuses to read from stdin ?

Any ideas ?

btw.: The same 001.vdr works if called mencoder <opts> 001.vdr
