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. | |||

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 midentify movie.avi. You can also run file movie.avi on the new file for a more basic description. Or, if you have Template:Package installed, you can use tcprobe -i movie.avi as well.

Testing
- Works (Equinox took 2 min to load a listing of one file, then would play)
- To high of bitrate (source file smaller then non source)
- Just testing but for what I am doing I do not think I need some of the command line options
ffmpeg -i DEFCON\ 20\:\ Owned\ in\ 60\ Seconds\:\ From\ Network\ Guest\ to\ Windows\ Domain\ Admin.webm -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1500k -s 648x480 -ab 128k -vtag divx output.avi
