hello Majour and all the ffmpegX crew (if there is one)

first let me say ffmpegX is king and many of my buddies using M$ are gelouse of the mac has the 1 tool you have built that replaces a ton of win progges to do the same.

ive been a long time user of ffmepgX and it is unparalleld. thanks for all the hard work.

as my mac starts to show its age i cant be disapointed with ffmpegX but im not a mighty big fan of encoding at less then 10 frames/sec when i aint doing anything fancy (vob > avi w/ mencoder n/crop, 1/2 scale> on my g4 a 30 min ep will take well over 4 hours).

anyway i picked up a new pc a few months back and have mepis linux running on it like a dream. but i still havnt found a linux mencoder front end that kicks as much a** as ffmpegX, so ive figured how your getting mencoder activated when the command line option is checked (pbpaste). i renamed it (pbpaste1) to cause ffmpegX to error every time i start. This way i can run this script

on run
do shell script "/Applications/Video/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/pbpaste1 > ~/mplayer.txt"
end run

and then i can clean and drop the command into my linux terminal and encode faster then i can watch the eps.

is there a better way to make this happen ?
