Maybe they mean it says 'MEncoder dev-CVS--3.4.2' (my version is MEncoder dev-CVS--3.4.2), but that's the compiler's version. I seriously don't belive they got FC2 running mencoder 3 times slower (78 vs 192 FPS). Let's look at the command: --- cut --- mencoder sample.mpg -nosound -ovc lavc vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=2 -o sample.avi --- cut --- This is the second pass (vpass=2) and it does not work without the first one (vpass=1) which produces the '2pass stat file'... How do I belive them now? Which version of mplayer? The above line will not work for one more reason - look at the man page: --- cut --- Encode DVD title #2, only selected chapters: mencoder dvd://2 -chapter 10-15 -o title2.avi -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 --- cut --- in short '-ovc lavc' accepts options via '-lavcopts <options>'. And last thing, copy-paste of the command from their web page is: --- cut --- mencoder sample.mpg - nosound - ovc lavc vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=2 - o sample.avi --- cut --- or html source: --- cut --- <br> <em>mencoder sample.mpg - nosound - ovc lavc vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=2 - o sample.avi</em><br> <br> --- cut --- you see the spaces after each '-'? Do you still think they know what FS is? PS: 192 FPS is unreal. High quality 2 pass encoding with P4/3GHZ,1G RAM is slower than the playback, which is less than 25 FPS. -- Regards, Doncho N.
