Hello, I'm trying to convert a WMV file I created with some Microsoft tool (not my computer, sorry) back to MPEG2: [...] So, no errors, but the resulting tmp.m2v file is just garbage, the image looks like a non properly setup color TV. As you can see above, auto-probing didn't work, that's why I added -x mplayer. Any idea what's wrong there?
A probable cause is the following: since transcode can't probe the source, it get stuck with default stream parameters (width, height, fps). You should specify them manually & explicitely using -g, -f. Very likely you'll need to use -e too. 1.1.0 CVS features much much better mplayer integration (so you just add --mplayer_probe and let the magic happens). There also are some scripts on our wiki that automatize this process for 1.0.x releases. HTH Bests, -- Francesco Romani
