Realvideo problems

[Horst]

I have some problems with decoding realvideo files with the new (0.0.9q) version. The files are identified as

VIDEO: RealVideo, size: 320x240, 15.000 fps. AUDIO: racookmac, 44100Hz, 44 kbps.

by ffmpegx and t I have attempted to encode them to XVID (mencoder). The process fails with the following error message:

Any ideas? Furthermore, I had the "encode audio" option unchecked, and had a look at the command sent to mencoder. I saw the option " -oac copy" as given. Shouldn't it be "-nosound" instead?

Many thanks for your help!

I forgot to mention that the version 0.0.9p registers the video correctly as

VIDEO: RealVideo, size: 320x240, 15.000 fps. AUDIO: RealAudio, 44100Hz, 44 kbps.

and encoding seems to work.
