It is OT here, but I would like to mention, that I do experiments at the moment with these commands: mencoder movie.avi -vf pullup,softskip,harddup -nosound -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=6000:subq=5:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:turbo=1:threads=auto:pass=1 -of rawvideo -o /dev/null mencoder movie.avi -vf pullup,softskip,harddup -nosound -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=6000:subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:b_pyramid:weight_b:threads=auto:pass=2 -of rawvideo -o movie.264 mencoder movie.avi -of rawaudio -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=standard -ovc copy -o movie.mp3 mkvmerge -o movie.mkv movie.264 movie.mp3 Al
