[MPlayer-users] Bug or Feature

[Peter Hoeflich]

 Hi,
your mencoder works great, and there is little to complain about.
Here is the little with is related to the 3-pass encoding.
 
I use the following script:
 
mencoder $1.vob  -ovc frameno -o frameno.avi
mencoder  $1.vob   -alang en -divx4opts max_quant=10 -oac copy  -o $1.avi -pass 1
mencoder  $1.vob   -alang en -divx4opts max_quant=10 -oac copy  -o $1.avi -pass 2
 
Problem or Feature? The      option max_quant=10 limits the quantization during pass 1 but it fails
        during pass 2 (sometimes, you get 11 to 13 which causes large patterns).
 
 Thanks,
  Peter
