OK well conversion for the ipod didn't work either. Here is what I tried: mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts -oac faac -faacopts br=NN:raw -of lavf "The Biggest Hits - Right Now.ts" -o "The Biggest Hits - Right Now.mp4" MEncoder dev-CVS--4.0.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon 64 Newcastle,Winchester,San Diego,Venice; Sempron Palermo (Family: 15, Stepping: 0) CPUflags: Type: 15 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for Debian 89 audio & 203 video codecs The br option must be an integer: NN Exiting... (error parsing cmdline) I am not at all clear what this means except that it seems NN is expected to be a number. (But what this number is I have no idea of). Also doesn't video for the ipod need to be correctly rescaled? I don't think it can handle rescalling like this on it's own. Can anyone advise?
