[MPlayer-users] Mencoder encoding problems

[Brian Woodworth]

I am using mencoder 1.0rc1 on Windows with the following script:

mencoder -sws 2 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1750:vhq:vpass=1:turbo:acodec=ac3 -vf crop=720:352
dvd:// -dvd-device "X:\Full Movies\JET_LI_FEARLESS" -o "X:\Full
Movies\Fearless.avi"

mencoder -sws 2 -oac lavc -alang zh -slang en -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1750:vhq:vpass=2:acodec=ac3 -vf crop=720:352 dvd://
-dvd-device "X:\Full Movies\JET_LI_FEARLESS" -o "X:\Full
Movies\Fearless.avi"


The problem is that the completed encoding will only play with mplayer.  I
can't even use VLC to view it.  It just opens with the progress bar without
video or sound.  I have also tried it with the xvid codec and got the same
results.

Any ideas?
