I've tried to build it using Mingw. After a long way of libraries
installations I've got EXE files, though log file had many errors like
"blablabla not found or something like that".. Nevertheless my build of
MEncoder works, but I'm not sure if it really works correctly or not.
Therefore I use either RC or other SVN builds, mentioned at the MPlayer
website.

If I could download _full_ set of _working_ libraries from any single 
location to build
MPLayer/MEncoder from SVN, I'd be just happy. I have in mind to download it
all from anybody who really uses them to build from SVN.

I've discovered that not every MOV file could be used partially. I need to 
set "Optimize for Internet streaming" checkbox in iMovie to create MOV file 
whose initial stub can be used with MEncoder. Otherwise MOV header is 
located near to the end of file, and MEncoder can't locate it within the 
stub. So, I've created such "suitable" MOV file, then have cut first 10 
MBytes off and used this stub for test.

So, my test stuff is located here:

MEncoder executables for three versions

Command lines for three cases:

MEncoder outputs for these cases:

(Size: 363,194)

Resulting MP3's with CBR:

Resulting MP3's with ABR:
http://bokovikov/com/mplayer/audiobug/mp3-abr.7z
(Size: 1,625,138)

As a result we have:

CBR:    RC1 - OK    RC2 - OK    SVN - ERR

ABR:    RC1 - OK    RC2 - ERR    SVN - ERR

Could anybody check it all and reproduce my error situation?

Thanks.
