[MEncoder-users] Is mencoder working sequentially?

[Alexey]

Hi all,

will mencoder work with xvid in two pass mode correctly if I use
something like () :

cat *.VOB | mencoder xvid:pass1 - 
cat *.VOB | mencoder xvid:pass2 - 

I wonder whether mencoder is working sequentially throught the VOB files
or if it accesses them randomly. In the latter case my method shouldnt
work as far as I understand it.

If this doesn't depend on mencoder but the xvid codec please tell me and
I will ask this question in the xvid mailing list.

Regards

Alexey
