[MEncoder-users] sstep with cropdetect

[Micah Chambers]

For some reason I can't get cropdetect to work with sstep. I found a
previous message where someone had an issue, but that wasn't really
resolved. I am using the latest version of mplayer in svn:
here is my configuration flags:

  Install prefix: ~/bin/mplayer
  Data directory: ~/bin/mplayer/share/mplayer
  Config direct.: ~/bin/mplayer/etc/mplayer

  Byte order: little-endian

so here is what happens:

Try appending the scale filter to your filter list,
e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp.

Could it be a compile flag I have left out or something?
Thanks
