why is this a rare scenario ? What is the "variant" for then ? Even with only 2 variants, the parameters passed to mplayer are buggy. I just happens to work with passing twice the same option, but with more, it fails. So even with only 2 variants freevo relies on some non-obviou mplayer "bug"
yes I think there is an easy fix but I can't implement it now... bruno On Thu, 26 Oct 2006, Evan Hisey wrote: > Bruno- > I am thinking this just a really rare scenario.
