Any mencoder users out there ? yes, but when I found myself at this crossing, I choose the pragmatic shell path: mkdir sl; i=100000; for file in $(ls -tr *.sgi); do ln -s $file sl/$i.sgi; i=$[ $i + 1 ]; done; (no line breaks) and run mencoder on the symlinks. > Also, what do you use in place of mencoder on a 64-bit system ?

It's not a 64-bit problem, but ffmpeg licensing issues with 64studio. robin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHTC7EeVUk8U+VK0IRAni3AJ9X3CDdiOQPEfeRegVxMy144PfqZQCgjj45 hzzqoXr2xiAbTF+/5MmEUFQ= =0AJp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
