Fixing audio hiccup (breaking) when using mencoder for conversion
I use recordmydesktop to produce screen casts occasionally. I was using the below command to convert from ogv to flv format.
mencoder -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -srate 22050 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=250:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -vf scale=800:600 -o tutorial.flv out.ogv
In the output file which is tutorial.flv, there were small breaks in audio (hiccups). The ogv file was fine as when i played in movie player there were no hiccpus. So the hiccups were introduced during the conversion.
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/HOWTO_Mencoder_Introduction_Guide helped me to make use of the command mencoder -oac help to view the options available and I chose the right options. This helped me to create the output file without any audio hiccups.
