I did this and it worked, but it does the same thing as the old 
mencoder.  There is like artifacts in black screen and when i fast 
forward or rewind, artifacts from the previous screen the i jumped from 
are still there untill the whole screen gets refreshed, usually 3-7 
seconds, not bad but very noticable when watching a movie and not 
something i want to do, I have a train run by my house or the dogs 
barking i rewind a lot of times.  Yes i've seen all my movies before but 
i still like to watch them all the way through, so to me the mencoder 
doesn't cut it, at least in this instance.
