The first link in Google contained the link to the article. Not sure why you had trouble finding it.

I am nearly the 1st to get "annoyed" when my time is wasted by someone who didn't search 1st. In fact, if I set policy listing your search links both in- & out- side LQ would be a requirement for starting a new thread. Of course LQ would be smaller & probably less useful then.

That being said, I don't think this search is as easy as it sounds: Using Google & entering
Converting in Linux using ffmpeg and mencoder
w/o any quotes, the answer was #38

Entering:
"Converting in Linux using ffmpeg and mencoder"
quotes the whole title, often an excellent technique, but in this case it yielded nothing.

The not-so-obvious "trick" that brought manageable results was to include the author's name:
Converting in Linux using ffmpeg and mencoder jtprat

notice there are no quotes.
& BTW, when I did this search the sought after answer was #6 & #7 of 7.

Hope this is helpful to folks trying to learn the art of Googling.
