The MPlayer docs describe the 2 pass method like this: mencoder dvd://2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1 -oac copy -o movie.avi mencoder dvd://2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=2 -oac copy -o movie.avi or like this: mencoder dvd://2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -o movie.avi mencoder dvd://2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -o movie.avi but, er, that doesn't appear to make sense when the input is coming from lav2yuv because there's no sound. So what is the two pass method now recommended? 1 audio pass and 1 video pass, or 2 video passes and some voodoo with the sound I don't know about? Sorry to repeatedly ask noobie questions, but google isn't strangely unhelpful on this topic. Probably because there are so many tools and methods of doing things. :o} ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
