Greetings, I have used mencoder for a long time to create DVD-compatible mpegs. I had been using 1.0pre7try2 and was getting over 70-100fps while encoding. Then I upgraded to a more recent Linux distribution, and 1.0pre7try2 no longer worked. I built 1.0rc2 and the most recent version from svn (as of 2 days ago) Now, I get a really slow 6 or 7fps while encoding with both of those versions, it takes forever to encode anything. I'm not able to compile 1.0pre7try2, but I was able to compile 1.0pre8, that version does encode fast again. 1.0rc1 seems to be the first version to have this problem for me. I've tried searching the lists, but I haven't been able to find anyone having the same problem. The command line I'm using looks something like this: (the input is an mpg because it's from a Tivo, and I'm converting it to a dvd-friendly format) /opt2/mplayer-1.0pre8/bin/mencoder somevid.mpg -of mpeg -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3:vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vbitrate=2500:keyint=18:aspect=4/3:vpass=1:threads=2 -mpegopts format=dvd -vf lavcdeint,scale=704:480,harddup -af volume=+5dB -mc 0 -srate 48000 -ofps 30000/1001 -o /dev/null If anyone has any ideas or things for me to try to get more information, let me know. My processor is an AMD X2 3800+, and I am running Fedora.
