Hi all, I would like to encode a movie splitted into two DVDs into one big AVI. I found a way, combining tccat (from transcode) to mencoder ability of encoding from stdin (which transcode cannot do, as far as I know) This works great for video as well as for audio. The problem comes when I want to select a frame range for encoding : -ss and -endpos options only take times as arguments. And, although I use exact times for my frames (according to the input frame rate of 25fps), I have never been able to get the exact frame range I want. And this is important for I need to finally concatenate these ranges, encoded with slightly different options. transcode offers the ability to encode an exact frame range, but not to encode two DVDs at the same time, and not to encode from stdin, as I said. Is there a way to force mencoder to accurately start encoding from one frame and stop at another ? Thanks in advance, Philippe.

Dig in the direction of EDL. I think what you need is "high precision seek" or something like that... Guillaume -- A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days? -- Lauren Bacall My answer: Only at #mplayerdev on the freenode IRC network.
EDL isn't working quite right in the latest version. At least I haven't been able to get it to work in pre7 yet. I know Oded did some fixes for it, but I was unable to get his latest fixes to compile. Pete
