Probably a total noob question, but here goes. In my playing with h284, I'm taking an existing 4m .mov video, and encoding it to h264. Here's the (very basic) command line: mencoder vid1.mov -o vid1.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=libx264 -oac copy During encoding, it ends up skipping a frame about every 3/4 second, so that the resulting video is very jerky. Skipping frame! Pos: 1.6s 41f ( 0%) 13.16fps Trem: 8min 8mb A-V:0.083 [73:128] Skipping frame! Pos: 2.4s 61f ( 0%) 12.37fps Trem: 13min 26mb A-V:0.083 [380:128] Skipping frame! Pos: 3.1s 81f ( 0%) 12.88fps Trem: 17min 29mb A-V:0.083 [308:128] Skipping frame! Pos: 3.9s 101f ( 0%) 8.89fps Trem: 21min 79mb A-V:0.083 [1329:128] etc. What options should I be looking at/learning more about to solve this?
