hello,
i'm trying to convert a dvd to divx using the 3 pass method.  i noticed this 
in the output from mencoder during the second pass:
Sorry, selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.

what does that mean?  its printed to stderr instead of stdout, so i assume its 
important.

thanks for the help,
christopher

here is the full output:
[cjb at semaphore divx]$ mencoder -dvd 1 -chapter 1-1 -aspect 16:9 -oac copy -ovc 
lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vpass=1:vbitrate=28325  -o matrix.avi
