I just upgraded from mjpegtools-1.8.0-r1 to mjpegtools-1.8.0-r2 which fixed Bug #137530 but am now running into this error while using lav2mpeg: bobert@firedog /home/bobert $lav2mpeg -N test.avi 16:38:40 - being noisy - ++ WARN: [lavinfo] Input file test.avi is not in JPEG 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 format 16:38:40 - using mode=vcd, stereo=0 audio bpr=112 16:38:40 - beginning conversion of test.avi to test.mpg 16:38:40 - had 127459 to encode 16:38:40 - beginning video encoding COMMAND=nice -n 19 lav2yuv test.avi | nice -n 19 yuvdenoise -F | nice -n 19 yuvscaler -O VCD -n n | nice -n 19 mpeg2enc -a 2 -f 1 -4 1 -2 1 -o test.m1v INFO: [yuvdenoise] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: [yuvdenoise] mjpeg-tools yuvdenoise version 1.8.0 INFO: [yuvdenoise] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- yuvdenoise: invalid option -- F INFO: [yuvscaler] yuvscaler 1.8.0 (15-02-2004) is a general scaling utility for yuv frames INFO: [yuvscaler] (C) 2001-2004 Xavier Biquard <xbiquard@free.fr>, yuvscaler -h for help, or man yuvscaler **ERROR: [yuvscaler] Could'nt read YUV4MPEG header!
