Cheers, Robert. I've not heard of nasm before, but a quick cd and make
installed it :)
  Wow the speed up is real sweet. What are the other .nas files in the
i386 directory for? Specifically the fftsse.nas. Seems interesting if SSE
can speed up some aspect of the encode. From the timestamps on these files
it seems they are an abandoned project?
   Cheers.
