XVID & MEncoder

HI guys, since i am linux newbie i would like to know if there is guide to encode movies with MEncoder & XVID. how can i change the libavcodec with the xvid one? or is it necessary? any help & suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks, TheShemeta!

If your mencoder was compiled with XviD enabled, you can simply pass "xvid" to the -ovc setting at the command-line. It should look like this: Code:

Hi, how can i encode only one .vob file? what is the command line for .vob input?

Hi, thanks for the help! :) now i have another weird problem. after i am done with the first pass, i can't do the second. i get some kind of error. all i change is the number of passes, so i have no clue why this happens. any help will be appreciated. thanks TheShemeta

Have you tried re-doing the 1st pass? Are you using "hintedme" like I do? In the mplayer man page it is said to be buggy, although it did always work for me.

well when i use hintedme , mencoder says, it's unknown option or something like that. so i encode the 1st pass without it. but then the 2nd one i get an error. i will check again & then i will tell you what exactly the error is!

for divx i get the following message : pass (2) and rate control mode (0) doesn't match, please consult encore2.h & for libavcodec i get: segmentation fault Xvid is working fine, but i can't use the hintedme & for bitrate=1000 i get 340MB avi file for 5min video clip. pretty strange. for xvid i use the options you posted! thanks for your help! very cool of you! :D

i did compile it myself. it is 340 MB after the 1st & 2nd pass. it doesn't matter which pass.
