[MPlayer-users] Patch to allow mencoders MF option to read its frame list from a file

[Sam Mason]

Hello everybody,

Here's a pretty trivial patch (against mplayer-1.0pre1) that adds
support for reading the MF list from a file (or standard input).

e.g. from a file:

  mencoder mf://@files.txt -mf type=jpeg -ovc lavc

from standard input:

  find -name "*.jpeg" | sort | mencoder mf://@- -mf type=jpeg -ovc lavc

Hope you find it useful,
  Sam
