Hi, I recently updated my system (twice) and seemed to have somehow broken mencoder audio encoding. The ff. command used to work: mencoder -vf scale=240:180 $infile -o $outfile -of avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=230:acodec=libmp3lame:abitrate=64 but now I just get the following error: Couldn't open codec libmp3lame, br=64. The following are the list of packages that I updated since it last worked. I'm hoping (since most people on this list are familiar with the tool) someone here might be able to give me a lead: Oct 02 23:49:44 Installed: DevIL-1.6.8-0.15.rc2.fc9.x86_64 Oct 02 23:49:45 Installed: lua-5.1.4-1.fc9.x86_64 Oct 02 23:49:45 Installed: libmikmod-3.2.0-3.beta2.fc9.x86_64 Oct 02 23:49:46 Installed: SDL_mixer-1.2.8-9.fc9.x86_64 Oct 02 23:49:46 Installed: SDL_ttf-2.0.9-4.fc9.x86_64 Oct 02 23:49:47 Installed: xerces-c-2.8.0-2.fc9.x86_64 Oct 02 23:49:47 Installed: SILLY-0.1.0-5.fc9.x86_64 Oct 02 23:49:48 Installed: cegui-0.5.0b-7.fc9.x86_64 Oct 02 23:49:59 Installed: smc-1.4.1-1.fc9.drb.x86_64 Oct 02 23:51:57 Installed: smc-music-4.0-1.fc8.drb.noarch Oct 03 08:35:14 Installed: evolution-exchange-2.22.3-1.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:16 Updated: libxml2-2.7.1-2.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:40 Updated: 1:gdm-2.22.0-10.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:43 Updated: selinux-policy-3.3.1-95.fc9.noarch Oct 04 09:34:43 Updated: libsexy-0.1.11-8.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:44 Updated: pam_krb5-2.3.0-2.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:45 Updated: libtirpc-0.1.7-19.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:45 Updated: nss_compat_ossl-0.9.4-1.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:46 Updated: libbtctl-0.10.0-3.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:46 Updated: 1:gdm-user-switch-applet-2.22.0-10.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:47 Updated: libxml2-python-2.7.1-2.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:48 Updated: at-3.1.10-24.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:49 Updated: 3:traceroute-2.0.12-1.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:49 Updated: gtk-nodoka-engine-0.7.1-2.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:34:50 Updated: anacron-2.3-61.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:12 Updated: selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-95.fc9.noarch Oct 04 09:35:31 Updated: selinux-policy-devel-3.3.1-95.fc9.noarch Oct 04 09:35:39 Updated: libxml2-devel-2.7.1-2.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:40 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-0.11.svn4022.4.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:41 Updated: 1:perl-Module-Pluggable-3.60-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:44 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.11.svn4022.4.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:46 Updated: 1:NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.11.svn4022.4.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:47 Updated: 1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:47 Updated: 4:perl-libs-5.10.0-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:57 Updated: 4:perl-5.10.0-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:58 Updated: 4:perl-devel-5.10.0-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:58 Updated: perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.008-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:58 Updated: perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.008-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:59 Updated: perl-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.008-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:35:59 Updated: perl-Compress-Zlib-2.008-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:36:00 Updated: perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.36-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:36:09 Updated: 1:perl-Pod-Simple-3.05-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:36:10 Updated: perl-Test-Harness-2.64-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:36:11 Updated: 1:perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS-2.18-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:36:11 Updated: 1:perl-IO-Zlib-1.07-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:36:12 Updated: 3:perl-version-0.74-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:36:12 Updated: perl-Archive-Tar-1.38-34.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:36:14 Updated: perl-libwww-perl-5.814-3.fc9.noarch Oct 04 09:39:35 Installed: 1:tcl-8.5.2-2.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:39:37 Installed: 1:tk-8.5.2-1.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:39:38 Installed: 1:tix-8.4.2-5.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:39:38 Installed: tkinter-2.5.1-26.fc9.x86_64 Oct 04 09:39:46 Installed: scribus-1.3.4-5.fc9.x86_64 -- Richi Plana
