I DID indeed try that one as well.
Mencoder complained about my using -oac copy
and it suggested I use -oac pcm. SO I did do that
and the avi file was created. But when I
played the resulting avi file, it only played the very
first video of 12 videos, and it exited; as if that
was the end of the file. The size of the resulting
avi file was well over a gigabyte.

Cheers,

JD
