What part of "/usr/bin/mencoder comes from the mencoder-x.x-x.i386.rpm
package" don't you understand? If you're installing a set of packages,
make sure they're from the same packager. Like me, in this case. I chose
to package mencoder separately and it is mentioned on my website. Have
you read it?

Also, please stop top-replying, quoting full message with sigs and adding
some annoying disclaimers.
