I'm using mencoder to encode a video with lavc codecs:
Code:
mencoder test.mp4 -ovc copy -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3:abitrate=64 -o test.avi -audio-preload 0.174
The test.avi file plays in vlc with no sound.
The same video encoded with avconv:
Code:
avconv -i test.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a ac3 -b:a 64k test-ac3.avi
plays ok in vlc (with sound)
I've been trying to change the codec in mencoder:
Code:
acodec=libmp3lame, acodec=vorbis, ...
And all of them plays in vlc with no sound.
All the above video files plays ok (with sound) in mplayer, totem or smplayer.
I can't guess if it's a mencoder problem, a vlc problem or the combination of this two programs.
Here's the output from Mediainfo for the test.avi file (encoded with mencoder) and test-ac3.avi (encoded with avconv).
The audio stream values are the same!
