sync problem with -oac faac
by Victor Condino 01 Mar '06

okay, sorry if this is a repost, but i accidentally posted this previously from my girlfriend's gmail (damn browser cookies :) i've recently decided to switch from xvid/lame to x264/faac for higher quality, now that i can get mplayer to build (from cvs) with x264 (from svn) support. x264 encodes AVC *beautifully*... and at bitrates where xvid/divx would be artifacting much worse... my main issue after doing a few test encodes is with faac... it seems that when using -oac faac the audio leads by several seconds (!)... not sure if sync drifts yet, so a possible workaround might be manually determining an offset and encoding with it, but still... i tried reencoding using x264 and -oac mp3lame and sync was fine. anyone else experienced this sync problem with faac? anone know of a solution?

I am trying to convert a wmv file to a quicktime format (mov). I have tried : mencoder p.wmv -o p.mov -ovc lavc -oac pcm -ffourcc DX50 It generates the p.mov but when played using mplayer is states it is an avi and will not play in the Quicktime player on Windows. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Trevor

order of parameters significant ?
by Enrico Weigelt 01 Mar '06

Hi folks, i've recognized that the order of certain parameters seems to be significant, ie. -ovc / -oac have to come before the input. Is this a wanted behaviour or a probably a buglet ? cu -- "*Who am I*? I am Susan Ivanova, Commander, daughter of Andrei and Sophie Ivanova.
