Bug#794751: mjpegtools: lav2avi fails because mencoder is missing

[Carlos Rivera]

Package: mjpegtools
Version: 1:2.1.0+debian-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

    When running something like: 

    lav2avi test.eli 

    I get:

    #########################
    # Entering to 1st phase #
    #########################
    /usr/bin/lav2avi: 42: /usr/bin/lav2avi: mencoder: not found

    ##########################################

    /usr/bin/lav2avi: 70: /usr/bin/lav2avi: mencoder: not found
       INFO: [lav2yuv] chroma '422' recommended with this input
       INFO: [lav2yuv] set default chroma '420jpeg'

    If I install the package mencoder then lav2avi does work, 
    hence perhaps mjpegtools should have mencoder as a dependency? 

    Regards.
