Thank you but maybe a problem. I read the tutorials:
Three pass encoding:
1: first the sound
mencoder -dvd 1 -ovc frameno -o frameno.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts
abr:br=128
2: First pass
mencoder -dvd 1 -nosound -oac copy -o /dev/null -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpreg4:vbitrate=800:vhq:vpass=1 etc ...
3: Second pass
The same with vpass=2 and -o file.avi
I may have badly understood but you read well the word "dvd" not
"tv". How to tell mplayer to start the video reader at exactly the
same place at first and second pass for video and sound coordination?
Or I did not really understand: Must I type at first pass -tv
driver=v4l,etc -ovc frameno -o frameno.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts etc
Then at second pass make a -oac copy from frameno.avi to film.avi but
really I think there will be a problem of coordination and I don't see
examples anywhere with -tv instead of -dvd with 2 or 3 passes.
