Sorry I have been delayed by othjer stuff. I apologise for being slow. You asked what CPU i was using. This is a thinkpad x61: cpu0: Genuine Intel(R) CPU L2400 @ 1.66GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1.67 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,VMX,EST,TM2,xTPR,PDCM cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: apic clock running at 166MHz The command line i used was: mencoder -ovc x264 -nosound somefile.avi -o file.mp4 I tried this and a zero size file was created. I tried again on a .mov and it appeared to be working. I was able to play file.mp4 (whilst it was still being encoded) with mplayer up until X crashed (unrelated, bitten by a drm bug). I also noticed many errors like this: MEncoder SVN-r30866 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team success: format: 0 data: 0x0 - 0x5e3f800 AVI file format detected.

I will try the original file again once X is sorted. -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
