multi_encoder requirements


To use the multi encoder, you need the following depending on the output format(s) you want to use.


Python 2.3.4+ is also required for the multi_encoder.



For Mandrake Users
The urpmi packages ogmtools, libmatroska-devel and mkvtoolnix can be used to succesfully encode to ogg/Matroska formats.
