[MEncoder-users] Mencoder finishes early on DVD to Divx encoding

[Pete Davis]

Just to be clear: I'm very appreciative of the help I've gotten here.
Honestly, I am. But I keep getting chastised for using out of date stuff.

Not everything I've wanted to do was documented well in the manual so I had
to resort to how-tos on other sites to help me figure out how to do some of
the stuff I've wanted to do. I've got maybe 6 or 7 encoding scripts, each
for a slightly different purpose, and many derived from the first scripts
that I wrote, so if I got bad info for the early scripts, it probably
propagated to the later scripts.

All I'm saying is if there's stuff that people SHOULDN'T be doing: Command
that shouldn't be used or new commands that should be used instead, this
stuff should be clearly listed in a very obvious place in the documentation
because otherwise there's no way for the users to know what's unsupported,
what's problematic, what's deprecated, etc.

Ah, I see, you can do video and audio at the same time now. Much better to
do it in 2 passes than 3.

Look, you guys keep saying, "Oh, how dare you do this?" or "I can't believe
you're doing that." What am I supposed to do? Half the samples on the web
are out of date (and I'm not talking the mplayer site, I'm talking about
other sites with examples and how-tos). If people shouldn't be doing stuff,
IT SHOULD BE CLEARLY DOCUMENTED what stuff shouldn't be used anymore. There
should be a section of deprecated and "Don't do this anymore" stuff.

There's no mention of frameno in the documentation. If people shouldn't be
using it, TELL THEM. We don't just divine this information out of the clear
blue sky.

But that's just my opinion.

There's the important part you left out.  MPlayer devs will stab you
with red- hot pokers if they find out you're still using frameno...  It
almost always causes desyncs.

In other words... don't do that!
