Hello,
Slightly off-topic maybe but mplayer still uses libavcodec (ffmpeg) so this is the only place for now.
The Mplayer team released pre7 some time agoo with a lot off changes but one off the most nice ones is an rewriten vcd/svcd/xvcd/dvd muxer.
I started an mencoder only based script for kvcd4nix a long time agoo (without anouncing) and with the coming off this new mplayer release I've made some modifications and was wondering or mencoder is back "in buisnis".
Please use it wisely.
Mplayer:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu
Bash script:
http://www.japie.deserver.nl/ftp/KVCD
This is development material and there's no garanty it will produce something usefull
On the other hand, the last 117 movies I encoded where only with this script, and didn't had complaints from players.
Main issue is that large resolutions on small sizes will make libavcodec shocke, 352x240(28
kvcd and kdvd (seem) to work fine, but I need some feedback before merging in kvcd4nix.
