The opposite of what? I didn't say pp=lb looks good (in fact it's very
bad). What I said is that pp=fd essentially throws away a whole field,
and it has other flaws, so it should never be used.

pp=md or perhaps kerndeint throws away the least for static scenes.
But both still have underirable side effects. It's impossible to fix
the fact that interlacing is fundamentally mathematically flawed. All
you can do is lessen the ugliness.

Yes, it's called mkvmerge, and i think the package it's in is called
mkvtoolsnix or something similar.

- Autodesk RLE

Hi,

i want to ask if there is some posibility, or in planing to use
Autodesk RLE (AASC) Video CoDec with mplayer/mencoder?
((It is important to me, because Iam using camstudio for
capturing avi from desktop and i need to encode it)).
How long can typically take to add codecs from users to
mplayer/mencoder (with standard procedure to put sample into ftp)?

Thank You
Krynn

Experiences with xorg 6.8.2 ?

Hi,
currently I use a Radeon 7000 that works well enough with xfree86.
I'm considering to upgrade my X to xorg 6.8.2 (as a consequence of a major
distribution upgrade), but I remember reading horror stories about 
xorg's broken
xv (and maybe xvidix).

Can anyone share some experience, please?
Does 6.8.2  work plain good or are there still problems?

Thanks,
    Nico

Re: Experiences with xorg 6.8.2 ?

its look no problem in my Mandrake 10.1 that use NVidia GForceFX and 
Xorg 6.8.2

Thank You.

The opposite of "comparable quality"

I know it has flaws, but I have never seen ghost images and I think the 
other flwas are not as bad as when using pp=md, pp=lb, pp=ci,...

That's right. For that reason I have recommended to use kerndeint if the 
CPU is fast enough. But pp=md is nearly unusable because it produces 1x2

I see.  Can you recommend a program for GNU/Linux that will output OGM
containers containing MJPEG video and Vorbis audio?

I'm surprised Rich didn't mention it, but your crop dimentions should be multiples of 4.

Have you tried all the different -ao alsa: options, such as no_block and mmap?  Also, it is -ao not "-oa" as you
keep typing.  Hope you normally get it right.

Then use "-srate 44100", and see if that solves your problem.  If you've got some cheap on-board sound, it
wouldn't surprise me.

The solution to your problem is to use "-ao oss" as oss support just works better, and oss emulation with alsa
works fine too.
