Trying to encode an avi from my Canon SD700, but for the life of me, i can't get it to work. I've search thru the forums for anyone have the same output problem of...

"couldn't open codec mp3, br=64"

so i'm not sure what happened. I ever tried downloading the codec package from the mplayer website and that didnt help.

the command line i used was.

mencoder -vf scale=240:180 MVI_0321.avi -o fire.avi -of avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=230:acodec=mp3:abitrate=64

any ideas? I have the mvi_0321.avi in the same directly as mencoder.exe so its not a location error. I'm also at work on a windows xp machine, do i need ot download a separate mp3 codec?

thanks in advance,

*EDIT* Came home from work and tried it agian. FYI: The Mplayer would not fix the avi's from my Canon sd700 but the SUPER would. I'm happy now! Must have been the corporate computers.
