Guest SDMF Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Playing certain WMV files crashes mplayer for me. I was wondering if there are any programs for linux that will convert a WMV file to other formats. I haven't read up on mencoder for mplayer yet, so I am about to do that, just wanted to see if anyone knew of other programs that could accomplish this.

Guest SDMF Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 OK, I checked out mencoder, and found information on 2-pass encoding. Using the example on the documentation, I executed the following command: mencoder dishwalla.wmv 2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1:more_options -oac copy -o movie.avi And I got the following output: Using GNU internationalization Original domain: messages Original dirname: /usr/share/locale Current domain: mplayer Current dirname: /usr/local/share/locale MEncoder 0.90pre9-3.2 © 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)

(error parsing cmdline) Is this something where I needed to include the libavcodec when compiling MPlayer? If so, I have no idea what parameter I should use when recompiling MPlayer.

scoopy Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Just began toying with mencoder myself over the weekend and had a bit of success after running into same problem. Don't know if this will do the trick for you, but its worth a try. Try removing the 2 and more_options as see if you get any results. mencoder dishwalla.wmv -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1 -oac copy -o movie.avi If you get the same result, try removing :vpass=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
