2674 | 19 <P><B>MEncoder</B> (<B>MPlayer</B>'s Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, |
20 designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies | |
5968 | 21 (<B>AVI/ASF/OGG/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET</B>) to other MPlayer-playable |
4397 | 22 formats (see below). It can encode with various codecs, like <B>DivX4</B> (1 or |
23 2 passes), libavcodec, <B>PCM</B>/<B>MP3</B>/<B>VBRMP3</B> audio. Also has | |
24 stream copying and video resizing abilities.</P> | |

34 (1/2 pass) encoding.</LI> | |

36 <B>XViD</B></A>. Very useful on non-Linux boxes, and/or when you need | |

47 quality by running <CODE>make test</CODE> after lame's compiling process | |

4397 | 96 <P><U><B>2-pass encoding :</B></U> the name comes from the fact that this method encodes the file <I>twice</I>. |
3620 | 97 The first encoding (dubbed <I>pass</I>) creates some temporary files (*.log) with a |
98 size of few megabytes, do not delete them yet (you can delete the AVI). In the second pass, the | |
99 2-pass output file is created, using the bitrate data from the temporary files. The resulting | |
3027 | 100 file will have much better image quality. If this is the first time you heard |
101 about this, you should consult some guides available on the Net.</P> | |

3438 | 189 |
190 <P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many, | |
191 examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs | |
192 are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially | |
193 when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. | |
194 SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the | |
195 player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to | |
196 AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
197 value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> | |
198 | |
5968 | 199 <P>The scaling process is handled by the <I>'scale'</I> video filter: |
200 <CODE>-vop scale=X:Y</CODE>. Its quality can be set with the | |
201 <CODE>-sws</CODE> option. If it's not specified, <B>MEncoder</B> will use 0 : | |
202 fast bilinear.</P> | |

277 | |
278 <P><B>MEncoder</B> then feeds the decoded image to the chosen video compressor | |
279 (DivX4, Xvid, ffmpeg msmpeg4, etc...). Watch for the PNG decoder, as | |
280 currently it can output only to RGB formats, thus can't be used with codecs | |
281 that require YUV as input, like DivX4 or ffmpeg's msmpeg4.</P> | |
