I installed it and recompiled but I guess I was till missing something
with the tie to qtrle.

well I punted and installed rpm from freshrpms and can now view the
movie although very slow as I expected.

Now I would like to encode it to an mpeg2 at the native 1280X768 but I
can't seem to get the syntax right for mencoder:

does anyone know what the various options should be to encode a 600MB
qtrle file to mpeg2 that will use hw decoding during playback?


Thanks in advance, Bret

here is my latest attempt that actually got farther thatn those that
have gone before since it actually found the codec.
