Hello,
I tried ripping a DVD track using x264, and it plays fine with normal mplayer and VLC on my Windows machine, and fine in mplayer on my linux box. But, when I play it in XBMC, it's all "squished". If I code it with xvid with the same parameters, the resolution is fine in XBMC. Here's the command line I'm using (with mencoder 1.0rc1-3.4.2). Any ideas? I know that other people must be using h.264, so hopefully it's just something with my settings.
mencoder dvd://1 -o "filename.avi" -ovc x264 -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:abitrate=160 -x264encopts bitrate=1200 -vf scale=624:352 -endpos 15
The -endpos 15 was just to grab the first 15 seconds for testing.
Thanks!
Dave
