what do you mean?
it just looks weird on my reader (with all the spaces between levels of citations) but nevermind
no, it seems to be not only your client, it looked the same here.
wow, you are using a very old mencoder installations.
yes and no, it is indeed a very old version of mencoder, but still the most recent one, that is available as a binary. you also find _very_ old binaries in many distros.
i see. debian testing/unstable (which i am using), has mencoder svn-4.2.1 since debian is considered by many people as "the distro with the outdated packages" i tend to think that everything that is older than the debian-packages is "very old".
actually, it is not more than a few weeks, probably months ago, since -lavfopts was fixed and the option 'i_certify...' disappeared, so this is not a sign, that a _very_ old version is used here.
however, compiling mplayer from svn-sources is highly recommended, because bugs usually get fixed quite quickly and more recent version can be considered to be even more stable than old ones.
hmm, what i don't understand: you haven't mentioned the i_certify_ flag, it was just the error javier got.
i'm not sure, if i understand your question. 'i_certify_...' was a flag, that had to be used with old versions, i mean it was mandatory when streaming into something different than the avi-container. with new versions, this flag doesn't exist anymore and therefor causes an error when used. since i am used to use a fresh svn-checkout, i didn't use the flag in my first mail, but i added it in the second post (that i accidently first sent only to javier instead to the list).
yves has just recently posted the commandline to use such an old mencoder. search the list archives for "i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames"
or update your ffmpeg installation (which version of ubuntu do you use?)
debian etch: 1.0~rc1 ubuntu dapper: 1.0pre7try2 (don't know about more recent ubuntusm though)
the question was directed to javier rather than you. sorry for the confusion
you didn't confuse me, i just thought, i take the chance to show, which versions are delivered with the distros i know. sorry for the confusion ;-)
