[MPlayer-users] multiple files - lottery?

[Robert Rohatensky]

I didn't have any problem with 24 bit color encoding .jpg files. JPEG 
(JFIF) is either 24 bit color or grayscale. There is no 8 bit paletized 
format. 

I don't think the problem is mencoder. If I understand right, it uses 
libjpeg to read jpeg, tga and libpng to read png formats. I wasn't able to 
encode from 24 bit .tga (q3 screendumps), but after converting them to 
.jpg, all was good.

Here is a small sample of an RTCW demo encoded with mencoder:

and a higher res one:

They were both done by converting the 24 bit .tga to .jpg (24 bit) and 
then encoding with mencoder. I couldn't get it to not crash directly on 
the .tga files.
