wrong bitrate with 2:0.98.1653+git88b90d9-3ubuntu1

[mrvanes]

Binary package hint: x264

When using x264 in combination with mencoder and this commandline:

mencoder dvd:// -dvd-device SOME.iso -alang en -passlogfile /tmp/dvdrip_31156.temp -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=:pass=1:turbo=1:threads=1 -vf crop=718:572:0:2,scale=-1,dsize=1.33845 -oac copy -slang nl -o /dev/null -of avi

the used bitrate in 2:0.98.1653+git88b90d9-3ubuntu1 goes through the roof and keeps increasing way over what I supplied resulting in Gigabytes of avi.

Downgrading to 2:0.98.1653+git88b90d9-3 resolves the problem and gives me normal bitrates and normal sized avi again.

That commandline should read:

mencoder dvd:// -dvd-device SOME.iso -alang en -passlogfile /tmp/dvdrip_31156.temp -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=860:pass=1:turbo=1:threads=1 -vf crop=718:572:0:2,scale=-1,dsize=1.33845 -oac copy -slang nl -o /dev/null -of avi

The bitrate was missing, which is only in the output of my script, not on the actual command, which you see in this post.
