Mencoder doesn't work with avi -- fresh install

Post by Ethereal »

I am getting the errors in the log snippet below when using mencoder. Setting ffmpeg to a higher priority results in successful transcoding. I'm on Win 7 x64 with a fresh install of UMS. Any idea why this may be happening? I have successfully played a few mkv files.

Code: Select all
