[MPlayer-DOCS] [PATCH] reorganize mencoder.xml

[Guillaume POIRIER]

Hi there,
Here's a patch that reorganize the file mencoder.xml as I think it's
not easy to find your way in it. I added at the end of this mail how
the index would look like if you apply that patch.
I'm still not entirely satisfied with the way it's organized as the
sections 7.1 to 7.6 are very short when the sections 7.7 to 7.12 are
quite long.
Maybe it could be a good idea to group the sections 7.1 to 7.6 into a
'basic usage' section. What do you think

7. Encoding with MEncoder

    7.1. Encoding two pass MPEG-4 ("DivX")

    7.4. Encoding from multiple input image files (JPEG, PNG, TGA, SGI)
    7.5. Extracting DVD subtitles to VOBsub file
    7.6. Preserving aspect ratio
    7.7. Making a high quality MPEG-4 ("DivX") rip of a DVD movie

        7.7.1. Preparing to encode: Identifying source material and framerate
