mencoder of jessie doesn't have some feature I need
I can't use option vcodec=mpeg4
both wheezy and stretch have such option.

Obviously I don't know all your needs but how about this?

    mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4

"mpeg4" is actually the default value for "-lavcopts vcodec". I'm
talking of mplayer package version 2:1.3.0-6 in Debian 9.

It seems that I got confused about those Debian codenames and my advice
is useless. Sorry.

(Release codenames stopped making sense to me around Debian 5 (Lenny). I
have not been able to sort the later releases in my mind.)

why not try backport from stretch if available?

In a previous message:

Notice that Li Wei didn't say that he had followed the advice given. He
was relying on memory and did not test. Never a good thing.

Wheezy's mplayer will install on unstable. Conclusion?

or maybe, in case some codec is missing from Stretch's default mplayer,
the multimedia version might be worth a try.

You've been around long enough to know that users want all sort of
things; warranted or not.

More to the point is that I have installed mplayer from wheezy on
unstable after following my own excellent advice. Took all of five
minutes. So why not jessie --> wheezy is the question in my mind?

I am just curious - that is all - and it brings fruits - it is long time
since I played with encoding or recoding files with mencoder, so it looks
like we missed something that Li Wei found out. I use recently ffmpeg for
re-encoding.
