Sure... In this script, I just copy the video and downgrade the sound to mp2. TARGET="input.ts" OUTPUT="output.mpg" mencoder $TARGET -of mpeg \ -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2:abitrate=384 \ -ovc copy \ -o $OUTPUT For what seems a more error tolerant file on the MVP, I use OPTIONS="vbitrate=2500:keyint=25:aspect=4/3:mbd=2:vrc_buf_size=917:vrc_maxrate=2600" mencoder $TARGET -of mpeg \ -oac lavc \ -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2:abitrate=384:vcodec=mpeg2video:$OPTIONS \ -ofps 30000/1001 -o $OUTPUT I copied a script from my other machine that does mpeg-ps to mpeg4 files, so the options here may or may not be needed...this was just a quick and dirty test, but it seems to work just fine on the MVP. Mencoder coplained about mpeg2 not doing 29.97 as a frame rate, but the -ofps 30000/1001 made that error go away. Hope this helps.
