Does it matter which order things are in the conf files?

I've seen some here that have
vf=xx,xxx,xx before lavcopts=vcodec=xxx.
and some the other way around.

Some have

of=rawvideo=1
ovc=lavc=1
nosound=1
noskip=1
sws=0
lavcopts=vcodec=mpeg2video (cut for size)
vf=scale= (cut for size)
ofps=25

and others have

vf=scale= (cut for size)
of=rawvideo=1
ovc=lavc=1
nosound=1
noskip=1
sws=0
lavcopts=vcodec=mpeg2video (cut for size)
ofps=25

Does it matter?

And what about the order of the lavcopts? Does that matter?

(I know the order of the vf= matters, AND mencoder reads it from back to front, vf section at least (mine does - you can see them being written in the output in the reverse order they're in the ini file).

Well it will be "shown" in the commandline this way but Im shure it wont be processed revers. if yes then all our mencodeME encodings would have come out as crap

I meant that in mencoder's output..

eg:

Mencoder shows:

Opening video filter: [expand w=480 h=576 x=8 y=0]
Expand: 480 x 576, 8 ; 0 (-1=autodetect) osd: 0
Opening video filter: [crop w=464 h=576 x=8 y=0]
Crop: 464 x 576, 8 ; 0
Opening video filter: [scale w=480 h=576 chr-drop=0 param=9]

when the ini file says:

vf=scale=480:576::0:9,crop=464:576:8:0,expand=480: 576:8:0

To me that reads as if menc's doing the expand then the crop then the scale.
(I actually agree with you about the crap output bit - but why does menc. show them like this?)

<edit> I'm talking out of my (_o_) again!, Blame it on tiredness and ennui.
Mencoder does read them the right way around (of course), it just displays them wierdly. I really am an (_o_)! oh well... tal es muerte.
