[MPlayer-users] Creating DIVX for Xoro HSD 400 with mencoder.

[Carsten Koch]

Hi Rich and HR,

thanks for all the hints and ideas!

I believe I implemented all of them by using the following commands
to re-encode my video:


  mencoder source.mov -srate 48000 -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -o frameno.avi
  mencoder source.mov -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4:vpass=1:vbitrate=1024:keyint=25 -ffourcc DIV3
  mencoder source.mov -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4:vpass=2:vbitrate=1024:keyint=25 -ffourcc DIV3

Unfortunately, the resulting file still does not play in the DVD player.
Mplayer plays it properly, of course.

Now, this is what mplayer reports for it:

AVI file format detected.

See my original posting for the mplayer output of a file that works.

The symptoms are still the same: black picture, no sound, blinking DVD icon
in the player's LCD display.

Any other ideas what else I should try?

Thanks and cheers,

Carsten.
