Hi All,

For the longest time I've been unable to permanently rid myself of Mencoder error messages like:
BUFFER UNDEFLOW at stream 0, raising muxrate to 11088 kb/s
These need to be DVD-compliant encodes, but according to sources like https://www.videohelp.com/dvd the maximum combined bitrate allowed is 10080 kbps. Which means that files that had Mencoder errors like the above are rejected by the DVD muxer (I'm using GfD/Muxman).

I'm doing two-pass encoding with the following command line:

Code:
mencoder -field-dominance 1 -mc 0 -vf hqdn3d=2:1:2,harddup -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts abitrate=128:acodec=ac3:autoaspect:ilme:ildct:keyint=15:mbd=2:top=0:trell:vbitrate=%BITRATE%:vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vstrict=0%PSNR%:vmax_b_frames=2%VB_STRAT%:dia=2:preme=2:predia=2:mbcmp=6:precmp=2:cmp=2:subcmp=6:last_pred=2:mv0:mv0_threshold=0 -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf %1 -o %OUTPUT% >%OUTPUT%.%PASS%.txt
Is there any way to get Mencoder not to produce these errors without sacrificing quality?

Many thanks in advance,
Francois
