## 7.2. Encoding to MPEG format

MEncoder can create MPEG (MPEG-PS) format output files. It's probably useful only with `libavcodec`'s mpeg1video codec, because players - except MPlayer - expect MPEG1 video, and MPEG1 layer 2 (MP2) audio streams in MPEG files.

This feature is not very useful right now, aside that it probably has many bugs, but the more importantly because MEncoder currently cannot encode MPEG1 layer 2 (MP2) audio, which all other players expect in MPEG files.

To change MEncoder's output file format, use the `-of mpeg` option.

Example:

    mencoder -of mpeg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video -oac copy other_options media.avi -o output.mpg
