what do you mean?
it just looks weird on my reader (with all the spaces between levels of citations) but nevermind
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(which i am using), has mencoder svn-4.2.1 since debian is considered by many people as "the distro with the outdated packages" i tend to think that everything that is older than the debian-packages is "very old".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.
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
