[Mplayer-advusers] bug in mencoder -divx5-encoderandlibavcodec-encoder

[Johannes Feigl]

i've tested it, it does not work when setting the aspect ration.
also -noaspect does not work. mplayer/mencoder (the demuxer) detects it
and mencoder stops.

i didn't try to use vdrsync.pl. i think this is a problem of mplayer
which should be fixed.

btw: i've also got a dvd-movie with this problem, so it's not only a
problem with vdr...
