 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .I mencoder
-Encoder.
+MEncoder (MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to
+encode MPlayer-playable movies (AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/NET) to other
+MPlayer-playable formats (see below). Currently it's in beta stage, and encodes
+only to DivX4 (1 or 2 passes) video, PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio. Also has stream
+copying abilities. In the future, there will be cropping, resizing filters, and
+other interesting stuff.
