[MPlayer-users] Mplayer Playing But Mencoder Is Not Extracting

[Philipp Wollermann]

Hi!

Is it simply a raw MPEG4 video stream? You could try muxing it using 
something like AVI-Mux_GUI (look here: 
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~noe/Video-Zeug/AVIMux%20GUI/index-eng.html) 
into an AVI or MKV (Matroska). Maybe it can then be played back by some 
more players and by MEncoder. :)
