mencoder on new server

[bajab]

I have just moved my video script to a new server and I'm now having issues with mencoder - I guess its a result of changes in a newer version than i was running on the old server... here is the command and result....

any help gratefully received... cheers - baja

Guess the errormessage gives you a hint
Shouldn't it be something like subme=8 instead of subme8 ?

And there seem to be 'spaces' in "b_pyramid :weight"

Hope this helps...

Regards.

thanks for the reply - it was subme=8 that was the problem - i had added that to replace a command that was no longer completable with this version of mencoder..

i'm slowly getting to grips with what all he options do...

i'm now having issues with a second converstion script crating jumpy mp4s... here is the output if you can see any issues with this it would be very helpful...
