			Quoted from Gentoo Wiki:

			Before jumping into details, let's look at the basics for re-encoding a video file from a format MPlayer can play to an MPEG4. Here is a very simple example:

			mencoder movie.wmv -o movie.avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc

			Here's an explanation each option being passed:

			* '''movie.wmv''' the filename of the original movie file you want to re-encode. It can be any file format that mplayer can play (mplayer can play almost anything).

			* '''-o <filename>''' the filename to save the encoded file to. On older version of MPlayer, if you do not provide an argument, mencoder will output to "test.avi".

			* '''-ovc <video codec>''' OVC stands for 'output video codec'. This is the library you want to use to encode the video.

			* '''-oac <audio codec>''' OAC stands for 'output audio codec'. This is the library you want to encode the audio portion with.


			Believe it or not -- that's about all you need to know about re-encoding a file. The example above will encode the video to DivX (mpeg4) video and the audio track to mp2.

			If you want to see how another file has been encoded, just run {{Codeline\|midentify movie.avi}}. You can also run {{Codeline\|file movie.avi}} on the new file for a more basic description. Or, if you have {{Package\|media-video/transcode\|direct=yes}} installed, you can use {{Codeline\|tcprobe -i movie.avi}} as well.
