Im compiling up a the latest svn of mencoder to include in the next build of FilmRedux, the current version thats inside the application bundle is now outdated and I have noticed that some of the files that fail to convert in the front-end ie FilmRedux also fail to convert manually from the command line, leading me to believe the one of the issues is with the included mencoder. While doing this I have added the Lame MP3 encoder into the build.

I would like to do away with the separate download of the codec support pack as I hope to get mencoder compiled with either some static libraries this time and include any additionals in a framework inside the bundle but will have to see how it goes.

One of the components behind Filmredux is mencoder and the version in the current build was for intel’s only, causing conversions to fail on non-intel mac’s. This has now been compiled as a universal binary and will be available in the next Filmredux release, if you just want the file for now to drop into the filmredux app its here.
