Yeah. You're right  and I don't understand  what is goings on. I  do a test
myself and get the following:

mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -o test.avi -endpos 695mb lucia.avi

-rw-r--r--    1 m        users    733890560 Apr  4 05:03 lucia.avi
-rw-r--r--    1 m        users    733882304 Apr 23 23:22 test.avi


mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -o test.avi -endpos 600mb lucia.avi

-rw-r--r--    1 m        users    733890560 Apr  4 05:03 lucia.avi
-rw-r--r--    1 m        users    636121910 Apr 23 23:33 test.avi

Fro the  second test, endpos  works, no  very good since  636121910 approx.
607mb, but  works. Instead, if I  try to cut  off only 5mb endpos  fails as
show the first test.

Now, in both case the ratio is 0.99 aprox. so to get a 700mb file, try with 
700*0.99, i.e -endpos 693mb    is crazy but who knows ...

Does anybody know what happend here?
