Thanks for the 'explanation'. So your point is that all the players (vlc, mplayer, wmp, mpc-hc, ffplay) are broken and ffmpeg is writing a correct .avi file. Do you know of a player which runs on linux, windows or mac os x that correctly plays .avi files with Xvid and 5.1 ac3 created by ffmpeg? (I also tried ffplay, but it too doesn't playback the file correctly.) Sorry, for bugging you, but since i.e. mencoder multiplexes the provided ac3 and xvid stream in a way that vlc, mplayer, wmp, mpc-hc and ffplay can correctly playback the file I kind of assumed that the problem was related to the 'strange' codec-id and ffmpegs way of multiplexing 5.1 ac3 into an .avi container. But since I'm no ffmpeg developer and my knowledge of the way the .avi container should look like is quite limited, I here-by sincerely apologize for thinking/mentioning that ffmpeg was creating 'broken' files.
