Hi Barnhard,

Well after a few hours of running the script:
#!/bin/ksh
[ $# -lt 2 ] && echo 'Usage: $0 <file.mp4> <file.mpg>' && exit 1
mkfifo stream.yuv
cat stream.yuv | mpeg2enc -f 8 -o video.m2v &
mplayer -nosound -noframedrop -vo yuv4mpeg $1

# The thing slightly missing is the audio decoding/ encoding:
mplayer -vo null -ao pcm:fast $1
cat audiodump.wav | mpeg2enc -r 48000 -o audio.mp2

# and than mplex it together with:
mplex -f 8 audio.mp2 video.m2v -o $2


it ended with the following error messages:

mp4 file!/

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
   - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
   - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
