Unfortunatelly ctrl+Z is not working under cygwin either. :-( If I start X then
ctrl+Z send mencoder as a background process but it is still running!?!

I think You mean the low priority. Cygwin has also "nice/renice" implemented, so
I can set/change priority. I tried to play with it, but without luck. :-(

I try to descripe in few words: I capture filmes by VirtualDub and the ffmjpeg'd
avi is compressed to mpeg4 by mencoder. If the capture is 2 hours, the 1st pass
of mencoder is 2.5 hours, the 2nd pass is cca 6 hours. Sometimes it would be nice
if I could capture an other film during the mencoder compression. I tried to
change the mencoder's priority to idle (20), but it allows me only to set to 19
(low. It seems to me low = idle. Is it true?). I set the priority of VirtualDub
to AboveNormal or High, but there were still some audio and video
desynchronisation. If I stopped mencoder by ctrl+S, it becomes okay, but I can
not restart it automatically after...

Maybe I will try to find a sendkey program...

THX && Good byte!
