Please send such suggestions to the mplayer-docs mailing list or suggest that the documentation be updated on mencoder-users. On Sun, Nov 26, 2006 at 03:36:24AM +0200, Eli Billauer wrote:

so it states that vstrict=1 should be used for creating DVDs. Without this option, mencoder creates a stream which makes problem with some (or all?) standalone DVD players.
The thread which discusses this:

and more people who have complained about the same problem:

Guillaume, maybe you can update the docs about this? Anyone else knowledgeable about MEncoder? Diego

vstrict=0 seems to be enough, though vstrict=1 probably won't hurt. Greetings, Reimar Döffinger

Where are the MEncoder docs maintainers to fix this? :) Diego

where ARE they? There's only me listed as a maintainer of this part of the docs! ;-) Attached patch adds vstrict wherever it seems to be needed, please re-read in case I have missed smth, and also to fix my broken English.

vstrict=1 is not necessary (altought allowed). vstrict=0 is enough.
