You could also try mplayer -vo null -ao pcm:file=out.wav to decode and pipe audio to NeroAACEnc and then pipe video to x264 in another run with mplayer -ao null -vo yuv4mpeg. If that doesn't work well enough, just use MEncoder as you did before.
If you use x264's libavformat or FFMS2 support to input a muxed file or stream, it will discard the audio. When using raw video inputs, there's no way to include audio at all. |
I'll look into xport. I basic compilation in my linux box seems to execute it fine (outputted help info given no parameters), but I actually have to try it out. Only reason I don't process the video and audio separately is because mencoder needs both to be encoded at once in order properly keep A/V sync, else I'd demux the audio and video and process them separately. I'm using faac since I'm on a linux box. It's no frills.

If you need more granularity, then we can discuss what can be dropped to be least harmful to quality.

Fair enough, but I thought that was only when you compare the effects of psy options.
I need that granularity which is a partial reason why I started this thread. Shall I provide a sample of the source in the form of screen to show the lack of quality I have to combat to help ease the decision making?
