Joey,

Thanks - this has done the trick. I now have compiled my own version of
mencoder!  I did also try moving the two x264 files into the folders you
suggested but the mplayer configure process still didn't pick this up. As
possibly not needed, I won't pursue this for now.

I just need to sort out audio issues now.  I mentioned in my first posting
that I am using mencoder in an addin for Etivo - for some reason I am
getting garbled audio in my end result file conversions (using mp3lame).
Using the same encoding options from a command line does not have any
problems so I assume this is an issue with Etivo & xvid/divx addin.

Thanks to you all for your help and quick responses to my messages - this
was very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris
