Hi Pro

,
I missed those threads so I'll search them asap.
But if you're using pregain/hybridgain/etc... then that means that ac3enc.dll is still buggy, right?
As for mencoder, I haven't used it in a while and I'm affraid I won't use it anymore:
1st-because now we have HC.
2nd-because of this
http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/
The way those guys at ffmpeg put it, it's not a question if ffmpeg lives or dies.
It's a question of when it will die

.
As a consequence of such a press release, I am also very much worried about other free encoders/players out there.
I mean MP Classic and HC will also suffer from this law, right?
Anyway, thanks for helping.
Cheers
