If it only accepts WMV3 (Windows Media Video 9) then you're out of luck. FFmpeg, and by extension, mencoder, do not support WMV3 encoding. There appears to be a patch floating around on the internet which adds WMV3 encoding support to ffmpeg, but it is at least 2 years old... You can try WMV2 or even WMV1 (Windows Media Video 8 and 7 respectively). Both are supported by ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i somevideo -vcodec wmv2 -acodec wmav2 -b 768k -s qvga test.asf - Pieter > > I cannot seem to get a mencoder (nor ffmpeg) encoding line to work. > > Here's some data on a video that works: > $ ffmpeg -i Butterfly.wmv > .... > [wmv3 @ 0x29707c10]Extra data: 8 bits left, value: 0 > > Seems stream 1 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 1000.00 > (1000/1) -> 29.97 (30000/1001) Input #0, asf, from 'Butterfly.wmv': > Duration: 00:00:08.21, start: 5.000000, bitrate: 1126 kb/s > Stream #0.0: Audio: wmav2, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16, 96 kb/s > Stream #0.1: Video: wmv3, yuv420p, 320x208, 768 kb/s, 29.97 tbr, 1k > tbn, 1k tbc > > mplayer -identify Butterfly.wmv > .... > Playing Butterfly.wmv. > ASF file format detected. > ID_AUDIO_ID=1 > [asfheader] Audio stream found, -aid 1 > ID_VIDEO_ID=2 > [asfheader] Video stream found, -vid 2 > VIDEO: [WMV3] 320x208 24bpp 1000.000 fps 768.0 kbps (93.8 kbyte/s) > ID_FILENAME=Butterfly.wmv > ID_DEMUXER=asf > ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=WMV3 > ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=768000 > ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=320 > ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=208 > ID_VIDEO_FPS=1000.000 > ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000 > ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=353 > ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0 > ID_AUDIO_RATE=0 > ID_AUDIO_NCH=0 > ID_LENGTH=15.00 > Opening video filter: [screenshot=yes] > ========================================================================== > Requested video codec family [wmv9dmo] (vfm=dmo) not available. > Enable it at compilation. > Requested video codec family [wmvdmo] (vfm=dmo) not available. > Enable it at compilation. > Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family > [wmv3 @ 0x882b6f0]Extra data: 8 bits left, value: 0 > Selected video codec: [ffwmv3] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg M$ WMV3/WMV9) > ========================================================================== > ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffwmv3 > ========================================================================== > Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders > AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 96.0 kbit/6.81% (ratio: 12005->176400) > ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=96040 > ID_AUDIO_RATE=44100 > ID_AUDIO_NCH=2 > Selected audio codec: [ffwmav2] afm: ffmpeg (DivX audio v2 (FFmpeg)) > ========================================================================== > AO: [oss] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) > ID_AUDIO_CODEC=ffwmav2 > Starting playback... > VDec: vo config request - 320 x 208 (preferred colorspace: Planar YV12) > VDec: using Planar YV12 as output csp (no 0) > Movie-Aspect is undefined - no prescaling applied. > [swscaler @ 0x8827710]SwScaler: using unscaled yuv420p -> bgr24 special > converter VO: [xv] 320x208 => 320x208 Planar YV12 > New_Face failed.
