At that point I would probable use either mencoder (part of the mplayer package) or transcode. I might also try using the above command but use S instead of s. Pressing S causes mplayer to take a continuous series of snapshots until you hit it again. Gus -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
