Just getting so frustrated with all this GPL and Linux crap today that I HAVE to say this. I tried all GPL based crap today trying to convert DV video to divX video. None of the Linux tools worked for me. THe only one that did partially was mencoder (part of Mplayer). Nothing else worked including transcode (which requires rocket scientists to work with---and finally it would simply hang trying to do anything). I spent hours and hours with no luck. I also tried the GUI for transcode named dvd::rip which plainly SUCKED and generated a bunch of erros trying to run transcode. In the past I spent hours compiling transcode and mplayer from source and all the other million dependencies it requires.
MEncoder has a bug which does not encode the video from the specified # of seconds into ........... much clipped ..............................
Dear Salman, Have you tried writing to the MPlayer list-server? ========== mplayer-users@mplayerhq.hu =========== The developers are quite active and new releases come often. They have a lot of new users who need help; and those users do get help; usually quickly. Think of it as an opportunity to influance the shaping of MPLayer. Good Luck ................
