Hi, Rodolfo, Of course, anyone would have to guess to answer your question, since we can't ask all the people who don't use mencoder and do use ffmpeg "Why?" I've used both, and for me the reason I prefer ffmpeg is that its syntax is simpler. Not simple, but better documented and more understandable. -- Carl Fink nitpicking@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
