I will assume that the patch will get applied, as it is very
informative, and very nicely laid out as well.

For the Transcode page, which will link to a local copy of the
Mencoder documentation, I would just like to present your categories
as a starting point for discussion. I would like it even more
if you would contribute directly to the wiki yourself (contact me
via email for the password), but I do not want to draw you away
from the mencoder documentation. Mencoder documentation is
certainly fair game for the transcode wiki, however. It would
be unfair for a package called Transcode to ignore other transcoding
software (and in fact, mplayer is a very important part of Transcode,
in the form of an invaluable import module). I use mencoder nearly
every day.

Thank you!
