Bleh, the url syntax for stuff keeps getting stranger and stranger...

Agree. IMO vobsub dumping should be here too. Dumping inside mencoder
makes no sense with mencoder's current (bad) design.

Showing two interlaced fields at the same time (ugly as hell) with at

think there'll be good tv support until G2, though, when we have
filters that can deal properly with interlaced input.
