Problems converting to mp4 with mencoder and ffmpeg

[FakeOutdoorsman]

The 'deprecated' message was yet another arrow fired in a highly regrettable war .

The misleading 'not being developed anymore' and 'deprecated' messages probably caused more user confusion than anything else resulting from the fork. So much time has been dedicated to explaining the situation by various users, contributors, and developers of ffmpeg. Instead of working on a certain new guide for the FFmpeg Wiki my FFmpeg time today has been distracted by discussing this yet again...and this is the second third instance today.

For anyone looking for more info:

• Who can tell me the difference and relation between ffmpeg, libav, and avconv
• The FFmpeg/Libav situation
