Mencoder conversion error...

[fablau]

Hello,
I am trying to convert files with mencoder with the following command:

mencoder input.avi -o output.flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=800:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames -vop scale=560:420 -srate 22050

but I am getting the following error:

MEncoder SVN-r37199-4.4.7 (C) 2000-2014 MPlayer Team Please use o=mpv_flags=+cbp_rd instead of cbp. Exiting... (error parsing command line)

Any ideas?

It does appear your command-line is VERY-outdated, to say the least

i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames

Thank you for your reply, but how would you suggest to change the above call?

[El Heggunte]

^ Should I assume that you tried

use o=mpv_flags=+cbp_rd instead of cbp

and it didn't work

[fablau]

Yes, I tried to add what suggested inside the command but it gives me a wrong command error. I really don't even know where to add that to the command! At the end? In the middle?! Ideas?

Thank you for your reply and info, after playing around I found the following format working for my application:

mencoder input.avi -o output.flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -srate 22050 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv -vf scale=560:420 -srate 22050

Hi fablau,

I receive this error when try convert video:

MEncoder SVN-r37202-snapshot-4.4.7 (C) 2000-2014 MPlayer Team
Please use o=mpv_flags=+cbp_rd instead of cbp.

Exiting... (error parsing command line)

You tell me you did with it?

mencoder input.avi -o output.flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -srate 22050 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv -vf scale=560:420 -srate 22050

I am a beginner!

Thanks in advance!

a. general recommendation: use ffmpeg instead of mencoder for flv handling
b. try the mencoder builds I attached (they are also build using the latest ffmpeg libraries), for me your command line works with them

Floriano, I don't know, but it works for me... maybe you have a different version of Mencoder?
