Ditched mencoder in favor of ffmpeg -- suddenly, I have audio again :/  
Anyway, take it for a spin with MediaPlayer, Xine, Quicktime, etc.  Got it 
to play on work's XP box, as well as Quicktime.  I really, really, really 
hope this is the last test.

Thanks everyone for your patience and assistance in this project :)

Here's what I finally settled on:

ffmpeg -i in_file.mov -f mpeg -vcode mpeg1video -acodec mp2 - b 256 -a 48 
-hq out_file.mpg

Had to use MPEG-1; it was the only format I could get audio to work on. It 
would blow up whenever I used a stereo audio file, too.  I don't know 
anything about theora video; is it something MP will read?

it should. but it's not standard installed on windows, etc.

Theora is a relatively new video encoding format. that is supposed to
already
outperform xvid/divx. normally the theroa video is combined with vobis audio
by encapsulating it in a ogg file. (like putting mpeg-4+mp3 in an avi file)
The good thing is that it's free, meaning: the format is made public (and is
actually easy to understand if you are a programmer!) and you don't have to
pay royalties if you make an encoder for it (unlike mpeg-4)
Someone even implemented an encoder in FPGA hardware..

it's been a while since i was playing with it, i even made a
simple file-rename tool in POV:

Funny!
Do you have a version with higher resolution/quality?

As of yet, no.  Some day when I buy a DVD burner, I'll take the time to make
a hi-res version, but not right now.
