[MPlayer-users] mencoder problems?

Tue Dec 2 09:21:02 CET 2003

You're right, here is the output from mencoder when trying to use
gmencoder to do 3 pass encoding using mencoders libavc codec.  Also I've
tried using the libmpdvdkit supplied with mplayer, which didn't help. 
The output I'm posting is using mplayer compiled with old style css
support and not libmpdvdkit.

Yes, I can play dvd's just fine with mplayer, so it reads the dvd and
decrypts it just fine.  My motherboard uses the via kt-333 chipset, and
I use an Nvidia 5600 graphics card.  Processor is AMD 2500+ with 512
megs of PC2700.

I run gentoo linux with the latest 2.6 kernel.  I had mencoder working
up until 2 days ago, when I downloaded a bunch of new updates from
gentoo, and then recompiled mplayer.  Since then I've tried recompiling
mplayer every way I can think of.  Seeing as I always install it from
vanilla source and not from gentoo's sources, I can't see as I'm
compiling it different than I did during the time I had it working.  I
think maybe a library that got updated is causing mencoder not to work.
