And yesss! It works :) However, it encoded my Matrix DVD into something spanish
languaged avi :) So I tried to put '-aid 128' into command line of mencoder.
Note, that 'mencoder -dvd 1' and 'mplayer -dvd 1 -aid 128' worked.
BUT 'mencoder -dvd 1 -aid 128' don't!

DEMUXER: Too many (4096 in 8257532 bytes) audio packets in the buffer!
(maybe you play a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed)
MPEG: Missing video stream!? Contact the author, it may be a bug :(

Arpi, would like to get some more verbose log, or is it a known problem?
Unfortunately I couldn't follow developmenting too close nowdays :(

BTW, since codebase of mencoder and mplayer is common at least from the view of
point of decoding the source movie, is it planned to integrate mencoder into
mplayer to have a single binary?
