[mythtv-users] "mpeg2enc is currently broken"

[David Kramer]

Running MythArchive on my box today failed.  Here's the bottom of the 
logfile:

Added next button image /usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/images/next.png
Added next button mask image /usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/images/next.png
Encoding Menu Page 1 using aspect ratio '16:9'
**ERROR: [mpeg2enc] mpeg2enc is currently broken.  If you really want to 
use it delete this line and recompile
************************************************************
ERROR: Failed while running png2yuv - png2yuv -n 449 -v0 -I p -f 29.97

-f 8 -o '/data/mythtv/tmp/work/temp.m2v'

I tried running that command myself and got the same error.

# png2yuv - png2yuv -n 449 -v0 -I p -f 29.97 -j

I get the same error when I run mpeg2enc with no parameters!

I don't see anything about that message in Google or the MythTV or 
mjpeg-users mailing lists, which surprises me.

One possible factor is I recently installed Cinellera, I tried 
uninstalling it, uninstalliung mjpegtools, then reinstalling mjpegtools

# rpm -q mjpegtools
mjpegtools-1.9.1-14_cvs20070421.fc6

Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks in advance.
