Yes I thought so too, but the case I exampled is a large .mpg file derived from a uk terrestrial digital tv box . These devices have the facility to store the tv output onto your hard drive via a usb connection, admittadly in windblows with the aid of a piece of software, but it acts like a TV card programme.The file is then accessed in the usual linux/windblows fstab setup and processed. I tried something like , mencoder <pathtosource file> -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=633 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=96:cbr -o film.avi but all it did was complain something about mp3lamecodec or something not accessable. I guess the options are wrong. or else it does not like the pathtosource in that position. Any thoughts. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
