True, so I have to be carefull how I do it.  On DVD's, it's not so bad. 
  It can generate a 3-6GB file from the mp3/video-copy.  It's the end 
result that counts.  fps increased a good bit on my xeon 2.67ghz 
seperating it to 3 passes.

mencoder doesn't copy the aspect from the old file, to the new one,

Yeah, I tried that, but don't remember what happened.  I haven't 
encoded anything in a while.  I have some stuff I need to get to, so I 
will have to try it.  If I use that one a file that has been video 
copied already, will it fix the aspect ratio, or it is too late?  Also, 
it doesn't do it when I do a copy off a dvd, only when I copy a 
re-encoded part.
