I had very similar problem today while converting video files. I used this command 'mencoder -oac mp3lame -ovc xvid -vf scale=320:240 -ofps 20 -xvidencopts bitrate=300 -o out.avi vvideo.avi'. Since there was an error (double 'v' in the input file name) encoding failed. But when I was trying to correct this mistake moved the cursor to the position of the first 'v' and pressed Delete some other characters appeared on the place of 'v'. When I corrected it to the right name 'video.avi' and pressed Enter to run command mencoder failed again. Again with the bad name of input file but this time with 'idveo.avi'. No matter that there was 'video.avi' in the line before pressing Enter. In other words there where two different strings in the input buffer of bash and on the screen. This problem repeated again and again. But when I try it now (a couple of hours later) it works very well. I can't understand what happened. I wanted to attach ~/.bash_history file here but I have just realised that it is empty owned by root and has the modification time 2010-03-04 21:01 (the time in the output of ls -la command)! May it be somehow connected with my problem?
