MEncoder Producing Blank Video (getting audio only)

Post by Dr.G » Mon Aug 07, 2006 2:30 am

Hi Folks,
I am trying to convert some MPEG video captures to DivX (to play on my DivX compatable stand alone DVD player). I've tried a few tools (like AVS Video Converter) but MediaCoder is more flexible and free.

However, the DivX codec seems to give me grief. I can use xvid with no problems BTW.

When I use the MEncoder codec, everything looks OK during the transcode process (right files size, frame rate etc.) but when I try to play it back, I only get audio (blank video)
Here is the setting I am using for MEncoder:

".\mplayer\mencoder.exe" "$(SourceFile)" -vf scale=720:480:0:0::,harddup -ofps 30000/1001 -passlogfile "$(TempDir)mcpass1512.log" -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=1:subq=8:keyint=250:vpass=1:turbo -nosound -o NUL

So my question is, what am I doing wrong? Or, can I use the DivX 5 encoder (if so, what directory do I put the dll in?).

Any comments are appreciated!
