If it weren't for the audio conversion to pcm you might as well have done: $ cp pacman.mov pacman.wmv For converting stuff, you have to specify an output codec that is different from the input. To list available ovc's (output video codecs), use: $ mencoder -ovc help For most purposes you'll want to use -ovc lavc, and then use -lavcopts to specify the exact format plus millions of other parameters. > and it converted just fine to view the pacman.wmv with mplayer. Have a close look at what video format mplayer says it is detecting. (I can't see a way of writing wmv in my mplayer/mencoder installation, btw.) Cheers Steffen.
