[MPlayer-users] Re: using mencoder to create raw data .avi

[Dean S. Messing]

Ok, Thanks A'rpi.  The emergency has passed (I got someone
to take the raw files and make me an .avi with a Windoze appl.

Png would have been just fine if I had had the magic commandline.
I would have used ImageMagic `convert' to convert the raw .rgb to .png format.

Now, I'll try to read the mencoder docs and figure it out for myself.
I'll ask some questions after I've been "a good boy" and read
the manual.
