mencoder "-vf scale" not working properly


my full command is

Code:
mencoder Haibane\ Renmei\ 01.mkv -sws 9 -of mpeg -mpegopts format=mpeg2 -vf scale=320:240,dsize=320:240:0 -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -channels 2 -srate 48000 -o menc-h1.mpg
and mencoder encodes it with no errors, but then the output file is 1x7492 pixels in size sound works fine, everything works fine except the resize obviously failed.

The original file's dimensions are 704x480.

This is what mencoder says when I put in the command:

Code:

and then the last part goes on for awhile until it's done.

I am trying to resize this video for my Ipod Video on Rockbox, please help.

As you are already scaling the video, why not use the -aspect option instead of -dsize.

I tried using -aspect 16:9 instead of -dsize, but it gave the same results.

Instead, I have decided to do a complete workaround by resizing with ffmpeg (which seems to do it correctly), extracting the subs with mkvextract from mkvtoolnix, and telling mencoder to add the subs in with the -sub SUBFILE argument.

The whole point of my using mencoder instead of ffmpeg which I prefer, was because mencoder had support for hardcoding subtitles in, whereas ffmpeg did not.

Thanks anyways, though, your help is much appreciated.
