Don't consider any of these points to be flames. I can tell you're new 
to this sort of thing; however, you're going to have to do a little more 
work on your own before you can get much help.

1. Top-posting is generally considered annoying on most technical 
mailing lists I'm aware of, and certainly on this one. Bottom posting or 
interleaved posting is much better for preserving past discussion where 
it is relevant.

2. Your mail client has fairly rotten quoting and rewrapping. I'd ditch 
Outlook Express if I were you; otherwise, you might want to try this.

That page also describes what I mean by "rotten quoting and rewrapping".

3. I don't want to just repeat information in the documentation. Did you 
read the page at the URL I sent in my last message? Take a look at the 
subsections that page links too, as well. If you have more specific 
questions then, feel free to ask them.

4. Here's a hint, though. Your initial message indicated that you were 
using MediaCoder, which appear to be a 3rd-party front-end to mencoder. 
We don't have any objection to that, of course, but we're not going to 
debug a front-end. You need to find out the exact mencoder command line 
that MediaCoder is using and use that to run mencoder directly and get 
the information requested in the documentation. I don't know how to find 
the mencoder command line, since I've never used MediaCoder, but chances 
are it gets printed in a status box somewhere; consult the MediaCoder 
documentation or ask on MediaCoder's mailing lists, forums, or whatever 
user help community they have.
