First: I love mplayer/mencoder! You have done a great work!


I have a problem with using multiple files with mencoder.
Up to now I used this construction to encode films recoded with vdr to divx:

cat dir/[0-9][0-9][0-9].vdr | mencoder -o result.avi .... -
This was working good.

I don't know wheather the new code is apropriate for this kind of input but 
nevertheless:

When I do
mencoder -o test.avi ... -frames 1000 001.vdr 002.vdr 003.vdr

I get 1000 frames out of every file (is that really intended?). But trying 
two-pass encoding the divx2pass.log file only contains 998 lines. Should that 
be around three times 1000 lines, as my output file has around 3000 frames?

Is there a possibility to seek to any point in the concatenated files and 
encode exactly n frames oder n seconds from that point.
