It seems idiosyncratic to use both mencoder and ffmpeg in the same app as there is tons of overlap. I don't want to rewrite it but as you say, I might pump it into ffmpeg and use that solely for VP8 encoding and do the whole cropping and filtering and audio in mencoder. That works. On the other hand - the webm people released an mencoder patch to support VP in mencoder. Glancing at the svn code that patch has been (somewhat) integrated but apparently currently does not work or does not work right (you can say vcodec=libvpx but the resulting output is not playable). Do you know what the status of it is and what the plan? If you tell me, yes, we'll get it working within a few weeks it sounds like I might just hold off. If you say, well, we have no plans for it I may go the ffmpeg route but I'd rather not. /re
