It seems to be new, and it is hard to keep 2 different docs up to date 
(html AND manpage), but I am happy that there is documentation - this
is not the normal case with GPL soft :-)

CPU too hot? (you should install www.lmsensors.nu) 

I have another problem. A divx produced by mencoder can not be played by
the windoze DivxPlayer 2.0 alpha (from www.divx.com). (but mencoder
is using their encoder - strange).
