mencoder has a return code of 1

Post by bartekpawlak »

Hi,

I have problems using mencoder convertion in a few last versions of UMS (I am using version 4.1.3 to get mencoder to work). What I see in log file is that "mencoder has a return code of 1". See the attachment, log was generated on the newest version 4.3.1. I use Java8.

Thanks in adavnce for any help.

You might need to uninstall some firewalls if you took some.

I have exactly the same issue. When I copy the command and run it in console the output is "FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver". The ffmpeg works fine though. I guess that there is an invalid combination of parameters configuring video codec.
