Do you mean in mencoder.c:

printf(MSGTR_WritingAVIHeader);

But that define MSGTR_WritingAVIHeader comes from help_mp-*.h so if I
make a patch for English, Ukrainian and Russian ones then anyway all
other translators have to translate new messages.

Ok, let's discuss what we want for replace. Will that below be ok?

#define MSGTR_WritingAVIHeader "Writing output file header...\n"
#define MSGTR_WritingAVIIndex "\nWriting output file footer...\n"
#define MSGTR_FixupAVIHeader "Fixing output file header...\n"

I think debug messages don't need to be translated. :)

    With best wishes.
