Converting to the right format for MPEG4 as specified in the manual makes a file which Cinelerra opens as video.
mencoder tvc.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=6000 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=256:vol=1 -ffourcc DIVX -o tvcc.avi It would be nice to be able to load the bundled pngs without mpeg compression first but there doesn't appear to be a visible quality difference. Here are the commands to create two kinds of png bundle: mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=720:h=480:fps=25:type=png -ovc raw -oac copy -o output.avi mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=720:h=480:fps=25:type=png -ovc copy -oac copy -o output.avi Neither resulting file will display in Cinelerra. Now I can try to learn to edit!
