[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html] After reading all the mencoder docs I can find, I'm having a go at converting a DVD to DivX using the three-pass encoding referred to in encoding-tips.html.
mplayer -vop cropdetect suggests "crop=720:432:0:72". If I use that with no scaling then I get a successful encode but the aspect ratio is wrong since it's a 16:9 DVD.
If I add "scale=720:304" then mencoder prints:
crop: bad position/width/height - cropped area is out of the original!
then it segfaults.
Are you sure you did the crop and scale in the right order, i.e. you didn't downscale and then attempt to crop?
