OK, sorry for not getting back to you in a while, but I've got some additional steps for you to do.
Following the steps here <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu>, enable the source code repositories for main, universe, and multiverse. Then, open up Gnome Terminal (or some terminal program), and follow these steps (copy/paste them one at a time): cd ~ sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer mencoder sudo aptitude install subversion gdb svn co svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer cd mplayer ./configure --enable-gui --enable-debug make sudo make install Then, see if mencoder still crashes after installing this latest copy. If it does, follow these steps to create a "backtrace" that can help us find the problem: gdb /usr/local/bin/mencoder --args "-msglevel all=9 [put the command line arguments you use in mencoder here]" 2>&1 | tee gdb-mencoder.txt Then you'll get the gdb prompt which starts with (gdb): handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint set pagination 0 run Then let the program go until it crashes and do this (still in gdb): backtrace info registers thread apply all backtrace quit Everything that was output should be in gdb-mencoder.txt. Attach that file here. If you have trouble doing this, you can contact me via Jabber at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or AIM at mattjunx, or MSN at boards {at} gmail.com, or on IRC (server: irc.freenode.net) at mjunx. You can also email me the offending file and what you're trying to do with it and I'll see what I can do. If the file is too large, try taking a chunk of it via this command: dd if=file.ext of=test.ext bs=1000 count=5000 And just send me that ~5 MB file instead. Email is boards {at} gmail.com of course. -- mencoder crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/57909 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
