Mencoder doesn't take into account frameno.avi from fist pass !!!

[TuRiSOft]

As for the subject , anyone has an idea why ? I just started using mencoder and I'm really impressed with its power (coming from WinXP / AutGK ) and I read more than 20 guides !
All of them says about the 3 pass encode : "The audio from first pass from the frameno.avi file will be copied into final result of encoding" but it is not .
This is the line of the first encode pass :
mencoder dvd://2 -dvd-device /mnt/hda1/Root_Dir_Of_Ripped_DVD_Files \
-ovc frameno \
-oac mp3lame \
-lameopts br=112:abr:mode=1 \
-af resample=44100 \
-o frameno.avi
In second and third pass I use -oac copy and encode my movie , but it doesn't copy mp3 stream from frameno.avi (first pass output) as I expect , it copyes the original stream from VOBs.
Is it a deprecated way of doing it , am I missing something or what ???
Please , help a newbye , thanks !!!!

So what do your second and third pass command line look like?

There's a typo, use "-oac mp3lame", not "-oav ...". If it's just in this post and not your real command line, check that frameno.avi is really created and that it contains the MP3 audio track.

@ nm : Just a typo !!!

@ Loaken : 2nd line --> mencoder dvd://2 \
-dvd-device /mnt/hda1/Root_Dir_Of_Ripped_DVD_Files \
-oac copy \
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=xxx:vpass=1 \
-vf kerndeint,crop=xxx:yyy:zz:kk,scale=xxx:zzz \
-o /dev/null
3rd line --> mencoder dvd://2 \
-dvd-device /mnt/hda1/Root_Dir_Of_Ripped_DVD_Files \
-oac copy \
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=xxx:vpass=1 \
-vf kerndeint,crop=xxx:yyy:zz:kk,scale=xxx:zzz \
-o Final_File !!!
