Closing this thread then, can we vote for one of the exposed alternatives?

1.- force -o

2.- harcode output filename taking care of the unknown extension:

	A: outfile
	B: mencoderout
	C: outfile-mencoder
	D: outfilemencoder

3.- harcode output filename, been consecuent with other's dump filenames
	without taking care of the unknown extension issue:
	
	A: outfile.mencoder
	B: mencoder.out
