Mencoder Help

I have two problems with Mencoder. One, I can't convert swf files. Two, I use a Creative Zen Vision:M, and when I convert flv videos for it, the sound is strange. It sounds like harsh electronic static. I'm using this for converting:

Code:

mencoder file1.flv -o test1.avi -vf scale=320:240 -oac mp3lame -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=800

It's weird, because other file types usually work. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Try "-ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=libmp3lame" and/or increase the video bitrate to 900 or 1000.

Why not use " -aoc copy " as the sound in file1.flv is surely already encoded in mp3, no need to re-encode it another time

You are a genius, thanks.
