[MPlayer-users] Creating MPEG1 files suitable for MS Windows Encoder.

[James Courtier-Dutton]

Hi,

This is just to report that the following mencoder command line succeeds:
mencoder -of mpeg  -mpegopts format=mpeg1:tsaf:muxrate=2000 -o x.mpg
-oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts
acodec=mp2:abitrate=224:vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=1152:keyint=15:mbd=2:aspect=4/3
input.avi

The resulting mpeg1 file is then readable in windows media encoder.
One problem is that only Windows 2003 supports mpeg1 as input to
windows media encoder. Windows XP does not, so the next challenge is
to do the same, but instead get mencoder to create a .wmv file that
windows media encoder likes, or at least some other format that
Windows XP media encoder can handle.
