Hear hear! I for one would support including a -quiet flag in
mencoder. Perhaps this would be better though with two
options, -quiet and -quieter (or -silent). The first would
give very simple information (primarily to indicate what
it did and how successful it was), and the second would
give totally silent output.

I'm sick of seeing 6+ megs of output emailed to me from
cron.
