I've never used Zones before during encoding, but thought I'd give it a try. I tried it using only the credits and that worked. My problem is when using multiple zones. Here's what the Mencoder doc says:
zones=<zone0>[/<zone1>[/...]] (CBR or two pass mode)
User specified quality for specific parts (ending, credits,
...). Each zone is <start-frame>,<mode>,<value> where <mode>
may be
q Constant quantizer override, where value=<2.0-31.0> rep‐
resents the quantizer value.
w Ratecontrol weight override, where value=<0.01-2.00>
represents the quality correction in %.
If I wanted to use 2 zones, one for the beginning (frame 0-48) and one for the end (95577 onward), would it be: zones=0,q,31/49,w,1.0/95577,q,31
What gets even more confusing is if I wanted to use another zone for a middle part. So that there would be the beginning (frame 0-48), the middle zone (frame 29164-29312), and the end (95577 onward). Would that be: zones=0,q,31/49,w,1.0/29164,q,31/29313,w,1.0/95577,q,31
