For HEAD and 1.1.x branch, try --mplayer_probe: this will force the probing using mplayer _and_ the loading of mplayer modules for import. > I humbly request that mplayer be made the default > probing tool when it is available, since it is > right 100% of the time, and the other probing models > are implemented with inadequate error handling to > detect failure adequately.

That's bad, we seriously need to improve our situation here. For making mplayer the default probing/import choice, I'm serious doubt. I sincerly recognizes the virtues of mplayer, but I don't like to be more and more dependant on it. What is the point of transcode if it becomes worhless without mplayer?
