Thank you Reimer. I'm struggling to find ways to pipe media out of mencoder, short of having Unix with named pipes (mkfifo etc). POST seemed like one solution since I needed to send the bistream over the network, anyway. And stdout is not an option on mencoder yet. Not having familiarity with the mplayer API I'll have to wait for someone with more expertise to offer a patch, and for now try the named pipe option. Thank you.
