[MPlayer-users] 2pass curve failed to converge ?

[transcoderjunkie]

hi all,

I just installed mencoder on Ubuntu 6.10 (running as webserver, no Gnome 
desktop, X11, etc.)

I am getting this error when truing to convert an AVI to a FLV using 2 
passes:

[flv @ 0x87bb7ec]Error: 2pass curve failed to converge
Could not open codec.
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.

the commands Im using:
cmd1: /usr/bin/mencoder -ffourcc FLV1 -of lavf -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=flv:vbitrate=200:vqmin=3:vpass=1 -srate 22050 -oac lavc -lavcopts 
acodec=mp3:abitrate=32 -lavfopts 
i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames -vop scale=360:240 
/var/www/mysite/videofiles_queued/BpOEWzz67VDI.avi -o 
/var/www/mysite/converted_tmp/BpOEWzz67VDI.flv

cmd2: /usr/bin/mencoder -ffourcc FLV1 -of lavf -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=flv:vbitrate=200:vqmin=3:vpass=2 -srate 22050 -oac lavc -lavcopts 
acodec=mp3:abitrate=32 -lavfopts 
i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames -vop scale=360:240 
/var/www/mysite/videofiles_queued/BpOEWzz67VDI.avi -o 
/var/www/mysite/converted_tmp/BpOEWzz67VDI.flv

the mencoder version Im using:
MEncoder 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
CPU:               Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (Family: 15, Model: 
3, Stepping: 4)
CPUflags: Type: 15 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1
Compiled with runtime CPU detection.

I also installed the w32codecs but not mplayer.

Any help on fixing this problem?
