And I have a file that is far too-small: 586M Apocalypse Now.avi
The calculation of 526kb/s seems correct. mencoder says it actually used a bitrate of 418kb/s. This usually means it didn't need all the bits you gave it to encode "perfectly". That seems unlikely in this case. What does the output look like?
I'm using MPlayer 0.90pre6-2.95.3 on OpenBSD 3.2, but I saw the EXACT same behavior with 0.90pre8 on FreeBSD 4.7.
Yikes! Get something newer, at least rc3. Martin
