18 | |
2674 | 19 <P><B>MEncoder</B> (<B>MPlayer</B>'s Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, |
20 designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies | |
4397 | 21 (<B>AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET</B>) to other MPlayer-playable |
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> | |

3721 | 30 <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - read <B>MPlayer</B>'s compilation instructions, it contains info about |
3027 | 31 how to install <I>libdvdread</I> for <B>DVD</B> support, etc.</LI> |
5023 | 32 <LI><B>OPTIONAL (LINUX ONLY)</B> - download the newest <B>DivX4linux</B> libs |
3027 | 33 from <A HREF="http://avifile.sourceforge.net/download.htm">avifile.sourceforge.net</A>, |
4177 | 34 and have them PROPERLY installed. You need them if you want DivX4 |
35 (1/2 pass) encoding.</LI> | |
5023 | 36 <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - <A HREF="codecs.html#2.2.1.9">download and install |
37 <B>XViD</B></A>. Very useful on non-Linux boxes, and/or when you need | |
38 faster encoding than DivX4, with approximately the same quality.</LI> | |
3721 | 39 <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - for libavcodec support, install libavcodec as |
40 described in the <A HREF="codecs.html#2.2.1.2">libavcodec section</A>.</LI> | |
41 <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - download and compile <B>libmp3lame</B> (from lame 3.89beta or lame CVS).<BR> | |
3211 | 42 <B>WARNING : DO NOT COMPILE LAME WITH <U>GCC 2.96</U> ! It won't |
43 work properly !</B><BR> | |
44 This | |
3027 | 45 is needed for CBR/VBR MP3 audio encoding ability. Note that a single |
46 <CODE>lame</CODE> binary isn't sufficient. BTW: the less optimization | |
47 you use for lame, the better the quality will be. You can test | |
48 quality by running <CODE>make test</CODE> after lame's compiling process | |
49 is over. The resulting number should be less than <B>30</B>. Don't | |
50 panic if it's <B>400</B> or so, you shouldn't heard any audible | |
51 quality decrease. Oh, and if your compiler doesn't even run <CODE>make test</CODE> ... | |

4397 | 92 <P><U><B>2-pass encoding :</B></U> the name comes from the fact that this method encodes the file <I>twice</I>. |
3620 | 93 The first encoding (dubbed <I>pass</I>) creates some temporary files (*.log) with a |
94 size of few megabytes, do not delete them yet (you can delete the AVI). In the second pass, the | |
95 2-pass output file is created, using the bitrate data from the temporary files. The resulting | |
3027 | 96 file will have much better image quality. If this is the first time you heard |
97 about this, you should consult some guides available on the Net.</P> | |

3438 | 168 |
169 <P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many, | |
170 examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs | |
171 are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially | |
172 when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. | |
173 SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the | |
174 player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to | |
175 AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
176 value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> | |
177 | |
3912 | 178 <P><B>MEncoder</B> can scale input images if they come in YV12 format (for example: |
3859 | 179 ffdivx, odivx drivers, or mpeg1/2). The output size is specified with the |

266 | |
267 <P><B>MEncoder</B> then feeds the decoded image to the chosen video compressor | |
