or just drop current mencoder.c and reimplement it from scratch.
teh current code is a messy hack, i made it to make gabucino happy and
to be able to encode dvd to divx as easy as possible but in good quality
and perfect a-v sync.

the filters, video codecs are already moved to libmpcodecs, the only
thing left out is audio encoding. it should be moved into libmpcodecs too.
then mencoder.c is not more than a core which calls libmpdemux and
libmpcodecs for both decoding and encoding.

after releasing 0.90, i have plans to do big cleanup of these libraries,
to make them more mplayer-independent, so
- it's easier to implement new cores for both player and editor functions
- other projects can replace libavifile with libmpcodecs :)

yesterday i've tried to compile the test.c of libmpdemux... no way.
it depends on too much things, mostly on the new input code and config
(playtree etc). the others (fastmemcpy, mp_msg, img-format(), etc) are ok.

btw this belongs to -dev-eng.
