I just found this report whilst doing a buster > bookworm full-upgrade.

I have both mplayer and mencoder installed and both were listed for removal.

I require mencoder specifically to handle some old legacy format conversion where I found ffmpeg fails despite many attempts to work around the issues with various command-line options.

Specifically RealMedia multi-stream formats originally recorded in the 1999-2004 time-frame.
