[MPlayer-users] mencoder conversion to flac

[Ken Bass]

I am trying to convert an avi file (mpeg4 video, mp3 audio) to flac audio.
Using "-lavcopts acodec=flac", I get an error message that the ouput buffer
is too small, among other messages:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this point, mencoder froze for awhile, then started dumping out "video
buffer full" lines.

I would also like to be able to capture directly to flac from my tuner card,
instead of mp3, as I did for the file above.

As always any and all help greatly appreciated.
