[MPlayer-users] mencoderproblem

[Rob Snow]

I've run into a similar problem trying to get my MythTV files into a usable 
format for my father and other family members (Windows users).  I am able to 
create a file with mencoder (with the mpg4/nuv patch) with all sorts of 
options (ovc copy,divx4,lavc,etc.) but almost none of them play under WMP 
8/9 on XP unless I also reencode the audio with the video (ovc lavc oac 
mp3lame)

I've tried all sorts of options and combinations with only the one above 
working to make something that WMP 8/9 can use.  This is with cobinations of 
Divx4, Divx5, Xvid, ffdshow as codecs.  I get a notice from GSpot that the 
codecs are installed for the audio/video streams but down at the bottom it 
fails out saying there is a problem with one of the streams.  Very 
reproducible.
