I have a small request for a feature of mencoder that should be easy to implement (mpeg2divx has it): I need an option for yes, really easy.
clipping top and bottom black lines of mpeg/dvd movies. this would save encoding space and/or bitrate and (hopefully) encoding time. nor. it won't speed up encoder nor save any bits, but it will speed up playback, as reduced image size to be copied to vga card.
ok, if this doesnt speed up encoding/save bytes in the output, then maybe when doing two-pass-encoding, you could just skip the whole avi-creatin in pass 1, since it should be enough to compute the movement informations for divx2pass.log. wouldnt that at least save some time when encoding?? greetings -- Jan p.s. i like mencoder really much. keep up the good work!
