Which is why I want to find out why tablet-encode is telling mencoder to copy the existing audio stream rather than re-encoding it to MP3. Did you specify the -c, --copy-audio option? If so, don't. If not, there's a bug in tablet-encode. > It would help if someone could point > out to me what codecs are available on the N800. `mplayer -ac help' should assist here.
