[MPlayer-users] multiple files - lottery?

[Robert Rohatensky]

In my experience, which was encoding .tga dumps from rtcw (quake3 engine),
converting all the still images to JPEG first was easier that dealing with
all the segfaults using other formats. I have had very good results and
stability with libjpeg encoding. I was never able to get targa files to 
not segfault. I didn't try png.

I just used convert in a bash script on the dir of images and then encoded 
the jpegs.

#!/bin/sh
for foo in *.tga;
 do
  echo $foo;
  convert $foo -gamma 2 -geometry 640x480 `basename $foo .jpg`.jpg;
done



It was way easier to do this on the still images and have a consistant 
input format before trying to encode with mencoder. It was also easier to 
scale and adjust on the still images than to screw with mencoder. I just 
used the sample .jpg encoding commandline from the manual and had no 
problems.
