This encoding work well with mplayer, but with bad quality and it does 
NOT work on the multimedia player. The video just don't play.
However with a different (not hd) source file, i never experienced this 
problem.

The first encoding (x264) seem to work well.
Is there anyway to use the x264 encoding in mencoder with more or less 
the same options?

Thanks for helping
