| 2674 | 14 <P><B>MEncoder</B> (<B>MPlayer</B>'s Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, |
| 15 designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies | |
| 5968 | 16 (<B>AVI/ASF/OGG/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET</B>) to other MPlayer-playable |
| 4397 | 17 formats (see below). It can encode with various codecs, like <B>DivX4</B> (1 or |
| 18 2 passes), libavcodec, <B>PCM</B>/<B>MP3</B>/<B>VBRMP3</B> audio. Also has | |
| 19 stream copying and video resizing abilities.</P> | |

| 3027 | 27 from <A HREF="http://avifile.sourceforge.net/download.htm">avifile.sourceforge.net</A>, |
| 4177 | 28 and have them PROPERLY installed. You need them if you want DivX4 |
| 29 (1/2 pass) encoding.</LI> | |
| 5023 | 30 <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - <A HREF="codecs.html#2.2.1.9">download and install |
| 31 <B>XViD</B></A>. Very useful on non-Linux boxes, and/or when you need | |
| 32 faster encoding than DivX4, with approximately the same quality.</LI> | |

| 38 This | |
| 3027 | 39 is needed for CBR/VBR MP3 audio encoding ability. Note that a single |

| 41 you use for lame, the better the quality will be. You can test | |
| 42 quality by running <CODE>make test</CODE> after lame's compiling process | |
| 43 is over. The resulting number should be less than <B>30</B>. Don't | |
| 44 panic if it's <B>400</B> or so, you shouldn't heard any audible | |

| 4397 | 91 <P><U><B>2-pass encoding :</B></U> the name comes from the fact that this method encodes the file <I>twice</I>. |
| 3620 | 92 The first encoding (dubbed <I>pass</I>) creates some temporary files (*.log) with a |
| 93 size of few megabytes, do not delete them yet (you can delete the AVI). In the second pass, the | |
| 94 2-pass output file is created, using the bitrate data from the temporary files. The resulting | |
| 3027 | 95 file will have much better image quality. If this is the first time you heard |
| 96 about this, you should consult some guides available on the Net.</P> | |

| 3438 | 176 |
| 177 <P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many, | |
| 178 examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs | |
| 179 are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially | |
| 180 when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. | |
| 181 SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the | |
| 182 player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to | |
| 183 AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
| 184 value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> | |
| 185 | |
| 5968 | 186 <P>The scaling process is handled by the <I>'scale'</I> video filter: |
| 187 <CODE>-vop scale=X:Y</CODE>. Its quality can be set with the | |
| 188 <CODE>-sws</CODE> option. If it's not specified, <B>MEncoder</B> will use 0 : | |
| 189 fast bilinear.</P> | |
