This looks very promising! I have encoded a short mpeg with it, and that looked great. Right now, I'm encoding a longer (two hours, more than 3 GB) mpeg to see how it handles large files (yes, I did compile with --enable-largefiles, and yes, so far it seems to be handling it OK). My biggest wish right now would be for some kind of a -o parameter that would let you set the output filename, instead of having test.avi hardwired. (I can send you a patch, if you want ;-) This looks much nicer tool for converting my mp1e captures than the mpeg2divx I was using before... Right now, it seems to need 3 seconds to process one second of video on my Athlon 1.2GHz - that can probably be improved by tweaking the divx settings, and removing the status printout. Keep up the good work! Matija
