I currently have some source avi's that were captured with the Huffy Codec and PCM audio.
I am looking for the correct commands to feed into mencoder to convert them into Divx 4.x and mp3.
I know I cannot convert them into Divx 5.x yet as there is no encoding codec for linux as of yet.
After reading the man page and mplayerhq site I am still baffled as to exactly what options I need to feed mencoder to get my desired output.
so far this is as close as I have gotten:
$ rm frameno.avi
$ mencoder /mnt/videos/CAPTURE5.00.avi -ovc frameno -lameopts q=9:mode=0 -o frameno.avi
which seems to work, then in theory, it should be a quick
$ mencoder /mnt/videos/CAPTURE5.00.avi -oac copy -pass 1 -ovc divx4 -divx4opts br=900
$ mencoder /mnt/videos/CAPTURE5.00.avi -oac copy -pass 1 -ovc divx4 -divx4opts br=900
and I should be doing my little happy dance.
however a quick seg fault prevents this.
I have encounted seg faults when my syntax was wrong on something that mencoder didn't immedatly reconize as an error.
I do not believe that I have a faulty mencoder, I think that my syntax is wrong.
Can anyone shed some light my way? Tell me what I am doing wrong? Offer an alternitive that will result in the desired output?

Just quick answer, the second line has option -pass 1 , shouldn't that be -pass 2
Probably a typo instead of a worng command, but you never know
The options you give mencoder look fine to me, but then I'm not very good with mencoder (or any encoder for that matter). -
You are correct that should ave been pass 2 instead of pass 1.
I must have had a multi-tasking buffer overflow.
I recompiled lame & mplayer and now the segfault has disappeared.
<insert happy dance>
Now I just need a way to deinterlace......
