[MPlayer-users] coding into mpeg

[Philipp Wollermann]

The mplayer documentation says:

7.2. Encoding to MPEG format
MEncoder can create MPEG (MPEG-PS) format output files. It's probably 
useful only with libavcodec's mpeg1video codec, because players - except 
MPlayer - expect MPEG1 video, and MPEG1 layer 2 (MP2) audio streams in 
MPEG files.
This feature is not very useful right now, aside that it probably has 
many bugs, but the more importantly because MEncoder currently cannot 
encode MPEG1 layer 2 (MP2) audio, which all other players expect in MPEG 
files.
To change MEncoder's output file format, use the -of mpeg option.

Example:
mencoder -of mpeg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video -oac copy 
other_options media.avi -o output.mpg

I haven't tested it but it should work. Just replace vcodec=mpeg4 with 
vcodec=mpeg1video in your cmdline.
