[MPlayer-users] (help) mencoder fails: FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver

[Christopher J. Bottaro]

I'm simply trying to encode one of my DVDs to play on my iAudio X5.  It
fails saying that it can't initialize the video driver.  Why does it need
to initialize the video driver, I'm not trying to watch the movie, just
encode it in XVID.

The rest of this post is the complete mencoder output.  Thank you very much
for the help.
