| 9 | |
| 2674 | 10 <P><B>MEncoder</B> (<B>MPlayer</B>'s Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, |
| 11 designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies | |
| 4397 | 12 (<B>AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET</B>) to other MPlayer-playable |
| 13 formats (see below). It can encode with various codecs, like <B>DivX4</B> (1 or | |
| 14 2 passes), libavcodec, <B>PCM</B>/<B>MP3</B>/<B>VBRMP3</B> audio. Also has | |
| 15 stream copying and video resizing abilities.</P> | |

| 3027 | 22 how to install <I>libdvdread</I> for <B>DVD</B> support, etc.</LI> |
| 3721 | 23 <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - download the newest <B>DivX4linux</B> libs |
| 3027 | 24 from <A HREF="http://avifile.sourceforge.net/download.htm">avifile.sourceforge.net</A>, |
| 4177 | 25 and have them PROPERLY installed. You need them if you want DivX4 |
| 26 (1/2 pass) encoding.</LI> | |
| 3721 | 27 <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - for libavcodec support, install libavcodec as |
| 28 described in the <A HREF="codecs.html#2.2.1.2">libavcodec section</A>.</LI> | |
| 29 <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - download and compile <B>libmp3lame</B> (from lame 3.89beta or lame CVS).<BR> | |

| 31 work properly !</B><BR> | |
| 32 This | |
| 3027 | 33 is needed for CBR/VBR MP3 audio encoding ability. Note that a single |
| 34 <CODE>lame</CODE> binary isn't sufficient. BTW: the less optimization | |
| 35 you use for lame, the better the quality will be. You can test | |
| 36 quality by running <CODE>make test</CODE> after lame's compiling process | |
| 37 is over. The resulting number should be less than <B>30</B>. Don't | |
| 38 panic if it's <B>400</B> or so, you shouldn't heard any audible | |

| 4397 | 80 <P><U><B>2-pass encoding :</B></U> the name comes from the fact that this method encodes the file <I>twice</I>. |
| 3620 | 81 The first encoding (dubbed <I>pass</I>) creates some temporary files (*.log) with a |
| 82 size of few megabytes, do not delete them yet (you can delete the AVI). In the second pass, the | |
| 83 2-pass output file is created, using the bitrate data from the temporary files. The resulting | |
| 3027 | 84 file will have much better image quality. If this is the first time you heard |
| 85 about this, you should consult some guides available on the Net.</P> | |

| 3438 | 156 |
| 157 <P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many, | |
| 158 examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs | |
| 159 are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially | |
| 160 when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. | |
| 161 SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the | |
| 162 player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to | |
| 163 AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
| 164 value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> | |
| 165 | |
| 3912 | 166 <P><B>MEncoder</B> can scale input images if they come in YV12 format (for example: |
| 3859 | 167 ffdivx, odivx drivers, or mpeg1/2). The output size is specified with the |

| 238 | |
| 239 <P><B>MEncoder</B> <I>decodes</I> the input image(s) with an available MJPEG | |

| 250 </P> | |
| 251 | |
| 252 <P><B>MEncoder</B> then feeds the decoded image to the chosen video compressor | |
