[MPlayer-users] Converting to divx but not getting any sound

[Udi Kalifon]

Sorry I didn't see your post until now. Too much volume on this list. I already answered myself that I found out that "-oac copy" works - but I would still like to get better compressions. 

It didn't help me to specify -aid 128 etc... I am attaching the output of mencoder:

just a guess:
try to specify -aid 128 (or 129 or 130 or whatever)
maybe output of mencoder would be useful.
