I have heard good things about VLC, but never tried it. And does VLC
encode? I have to encode a stream-dump with mp3lame as the audio
encoder. mencoder does it so nicely and I am doing these things with
mplayer/mencoder for years. Why they won't compile? And with such
bizarre messages: Permission denied to root to run an executable file.
