Might be a good idea. But there is one thing I'd really like to
understand, before trying my hand at this.

What's the *big* deal of a difference between mencoder and transcode? 

I mean - from the mencoder developers' viewpoint.

To be honest, I have not grasped the difference, other than the
commandline syntax...

And I promise not to argue. So no flamewar. I just want your words.
