[MPlayer-users] mencoder - Encoded video(from .vob file) flickers between bright/non-bright

[Arpi]

Hi,

it's probably field-based interlaced stream.
you cannot do 3-pass encoding of these with mencoder, you have to do
1 or 2-pass encoding (so you have to encode audio twice if you want 2-pass
video encode)

reason: the field info isn't extracted at audio-only 1st pass of 3 passes
(no video decoding then) so it don't know if it's actually 50fps stream
with half frames...
