Do you get the

	File not found: 'frameno.avi'
	Failed to open frameno.avi

complaint from mencoder?

What kind of machine is this on?  x86?  I'm on amd64, I wonder if
libdv isn't LP64 clean?

I'm not familiar with Futurama/Farnsworth's Parabox.

I tried several source files.  Most seg fault core dump, a couple did
bus error core dump instead.  They are from over-the-air digital TV,
various networks.  Mplayer will play them with default X11 output,
but my X terminal isn't fast enough, (and audio would be nice)
so I'm trying to convert them to DV so I can use my camcorder as a
firewire-to-TV adapter.
