Error exporting XviD through nuvexport using mencoder for singe pass with no quantisation

[misterhaan <mythtv@…>]

In an attempt to speed up running nuvexport on HD recordings, I changed my settings to single pass with constant bitrate (not defining quantisation). When I ran nuvexport manually to test this out, it failed immediately. Debug mode gave me the commands which I ran individually. All was well except for the mencoder command which quit immediately with an error about bitrate not being an option. I don't remember the actual error but I do know what the problem is: it adds :bitrate=$self->{'v_bitrate'} to the -lameopts value instead of specifying -xvidencopts.

I looked at XviD.pm in SVN and you can see the problem on line 160. Prior to the if/else statement it adds -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3:br=$self->{'a_bitrate'} to mencoder_xtra, then since quantisation isn't set it falls through to the bitrate case on line 160, but instead of setting -xvidencopts it ends up adding bitrate to the lameopts. I was able to fix it on my machine by changing ":bitrate= to " -xvidencopts bitrate= on line 160. I don't know how to create a patch so will attach the full XviD.pm with my change.

Updated XviD.pm with the problem fixed.
