[MPlayer-users] -quiet option for mencoder?

[christopher j bottaro]

hello,
i'm writing a little perl script to do a 3 pass encoding of dvd to divx.  at 
the end of the first pass, mencoder outputs the recommended bitrates for 
various cd sizes.  well, i know i can capture mencoder's output into a perl 
string and then extract the bitrates outta the end of that string, but the 
problem is that string is going to HUGE!  is there anyway i can run mencoder 
without outputting all the lines that look like:
