Hi
Big congrats to me for posting my 1st message!! woohoo!!
And in addition to that, I've just moved from WinXP to Suse 10.2 (KDE) 64 bit on an AMD 4200+ dual core with 2gb DDR & 7200 GT gfx. Even better I hear you say. Being a complete newb to all this, I'm still learning the wonders of complete control. I'm a keen vid converter & am loving the power of mencoder & ffmpeg. I'm just having real probs trying to convert real video to avi.
I've been searching the net for someone else with a similar prob & solution, but to no avail. I think it has something to do with 32bit codecs not being able to run in 64 bits?!
I did find someone with a similar problem ? cant post URLS on 1st post? but have had no reply to my email to this dude begging for an answer. Any help would be most appreciated.
EDIT: Command I'm using is:
mencoder "Source.rmvb" -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=128 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1200 -ofps 25 -of avi -o "Destination.avi"
error:

I'm sure there must be an easy answer to this one, but I don't know it yet!!!
Thanks in advance..
