I would like to use Andrew's 770-encode put a dvd movie that I own on my 770 for traveling. My plan is to do the ripping, encoding, and storing to MMC on a conveniently available Windows XP Pro laptop, and then transfer the MMC to the 770. I haven't quite got it yet, and would ask for suggestions to identify and correct whatever it is I am doing wrong.


Here's what I've tried so far:

Downloaded and installed Joey Parrish's MPlayer packages from http://armory.nicewarrior.org/projects/cygmp/ (this is a Windows binary installer package with mplayer, mencoder, and the codecs)

Downloaded and installed ActivePerl from http://activestate.com

Downloaded 770-encode.pl from Andrew's www.bleb.org/software/770

Put a DVD in the drive and executed '770-encode.pl -s dvd://1 avi.out' from a "cmd" box.


Here's what happened:

Got this message: "mplayer doesn't support FFmpeg lavc encoder"


Any suggestions to correct whatever it is I am doing incorrectly?

Thank you.

Regards,

DG


[Edit] P.S. mplayer is working-- I can play a DVD on the laptop using it.
