That's odd, because I've done this sort of thing with symlinks myself. Is it a problem generating the links or getting mencoder to use them? Using hard links is potentially problematic because the number of links to a single file is limited due to the size of the link count field in an inode (16 bits in EXT2,3,4). > Question to the experts: How can symlinks be used? Not an MPlayer expert, but I know a bit about Linux.
