[MPlayer-users] Problem in latest CVS - mencoder behaving badly

[VJ]

Hi,

    I am trying to encode a mpeg file taken from mythtv to get a DVD
compliant mpeg stream. But I am getting this error. For testing I am using
25 frames only.
    If I try to convert it into avi, I get 'Why do we get NULL' message
only, many many times.

Thanks
VJ
