I need some help with mencoder settings... I'm doing a simple transcoding of an avi file from FFmpeg MPEG4 codec to XVID MPEG-4 codec.
The problem is that the audio bitrate is changing from 192 kbps to 32 kbps. The audio codec for both files is mp3 (MPEG-1 layer 3).
(I'm transcoding the FFmpeg MPEG4 encoded avi because my blu-ray player doesn't see, let alone play it. Any XVID MPEG-4 encoded avi files the blu-ray player sees and plays fine).
I ran mencoder trying the four settings below but the audio bitrate still comes out at 32 kbps:
Code:
mencoder camping_en.avi -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=192 -o camping_us.avi
mencoder camping_en.avi -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=687 -o camping_us.avi
mencoder camping_en.avi -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=9146 -o camping_us.avi
mencoder camping_en.avi -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=192000 -o camping_us.avi << OK, this was a WTF, but I'm desperate!
Anyone have an idea how to keep the bitrate at 192 kbps?
