'i_certify_...' was a flag, that had to be used with old versions, i mean it was mandatory when streaming into something different than the avi-container. with new versions, this flag doesn't exist anymore and therefor causes an error when used. since i am used to use a fresh svn-checkout, i didn't use the flag in my first mail, but i added it in the second post (that i accidently first sent only to javier instead to the list). > >> yves has just recently posted the commandline to use such an old > >> mencoder. search the list archives for > >> "i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames" > >> > >> or update your ffmpeg installation (which version of ubuntu do you use?) > > > > debian etch: 1.0~rc1 > > ubuntu dapper: 1.0pre7try2 > > (don't know about more recent ubuntusm though) > > > > the question was directed to javier rather than you. > sorry for the confusion you didn't confuse me, i just thought, i take the chance to show, which versions are delivered with the distros i know. sorry for the confusion ;-) roman ___________________________________________________________ Der fr�he Vogel f�ngt den Wurm.
