Hello transcoders,

I'd like to use transcode to turn a sequence of 2560x1440 RGB images to
a single .avi file.

When I try this command:

transcode -i list  -x imlist,null --use_rgb -g 2560x1440 -y raw,null\
          -f 15 -o movie.avi -H 0

I get this:

transcode v1.0.2 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003-2004 T. Bitterberg
[transcode] critical: invalid video parameter for option -g


I have done this many times in the past on smaller formats, e.g.

transcode -i list -x imlist,null --use_rgb -g 1280x720 -y raw,null\
          -f 15 -o movie.avi -H 0

works fine on a 1280x720 video sequence.

I suspect I'm hitting some sort of max frame size limit, but the
error message is not clear and I don't see any explicit limits in the docs
(which I admit I did not read exhaustively).

Is there an easy fix for this?  

If this is an arbitrary limit, can anyone who knows tell me where in
the source code to modify it?

If it _is_ a fundamental limit, can anyone suggest a workaround (other
than "use smaller images" :-).  Thanks.

I am running "transcode-1.0.2-3.lvn5.1" on a Fedora Core 5 box, if
that makes a difference.
