Mplayer as a frame server? Pipe to file?

[RogerTango]

I am using Win32, I have not found a clear answer to my quest... Is there a way to use Mplayer to frame serve or pipe the audio and video from a file to mencoder for encoding?

I am trying to encode some VOBs, which as we all know tend to be problematic many times, Mplayer appears to play them all just fine... I figure If I can just pipe it over to an encoder "all will be good".

Ideas or suggestions welcomed!

Hi
mPlayer does not allow for pipe to stdout.
The advice from mPlayer is to set up a fifo file as a pipe, but this is not *easy*.
