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

20 how to install <I>libdvdread</I> for <B>DVD</B> support, etc.</LI>
|
|
|
21 <LI>download the newest <B>DivX4linux</B> libs
|
|
|
22 from <A HREF="http://avifile.sourceforge.net/download.htm">avifile.sourceforge.net</A>,
|
|
|
23 and have them PROPERLY installed. This is needed for DivX4 (1/2 pass)
|
|
|
24 encoding.</LI>
|
|
|
25 <LI>download and install <B>libmp3lame</B> (from lame 3.89beta or lame CVS). This
|
|
|
26 is needed for CBR/VBR MP3 audio encoding ability. Note that a single
|
|
|
27 <CODE>lame</CODE> binary isn't sufficient.</LI>
|
|
|
28 <LI>use <CODE>./configure</CODE> with optional parameters as usual, and
|
|
|
29 type : <CODE>make mencoder</CODE> . You have to install it manually for
|
|
|
30 now.
