Hi Javad, on the note that Al made on the provocation of extended conversations in said subject, the contibutions you are making to this list are being noted. On the other hand, a lot of the questions you have been asking can be solved using a simple google search. I have no comment on the questionable content you are talking about, but detailed tutorials and manuals are available for the mencoder package. I have even read some things on the Ubuntu forums, after reading things that have been going on here. Maybe keeping this thread on topic would be a good idea, but based upon what I have read in previous replies and your questions, it does seem that you are creating an extrodinary amount of threads, when the answer has been made available in other threads, or you could re-post in that thread.
