#1

When i try to backup my dvd’s to mpeg i get an error

unable to run mencoder

I tried to search the repos for mencoder and cannot find it. I am new to backing up dvd’s and dont know what this is.

Thanks

Mencodr is part of Mplayer,so if you don’t have Mplayer installed,install it now. Microchip8 is our resident Mplayer Guru,he may have other ideas,so wait for his suggestions,just in case i’m wrong

no Andy, you’re not wrong. MEncoder is indeed included in the MPlayer package :slight_smile:

Just had the same problem

Thanks for the clarification. I would never have guessed to connection to Mplayer…thought it was an permission issue.:wink:

cheers

ALso, I just found out that Mplayer2 does NOT have mencoder either.
