 <H2><A NAME="encoding">2.4 Encoding with MEncoder</A></H2>
 
-<P>MEncoder (MPlayer's Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder,
-  designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies
-  (<B>AVI/ASF/OGG/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET/PVA</B>) to other
-  MPlayer-playable formats (see below). It can encode with various codecs, like
-  <B>DivX4</B> (1 or 2 passes), libavcodec,
-  <B>PCM</B>/<B>MP3</B>/<B>VBR MP3</B> audio. Also has powerful plugin system
-  for video manipulation.</P>

-  <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - read MPlayer's compilation instruction.</LI>
-  <LI><B>OPTIONAL (LINUX ONLY)</B> - download the newest <B>DivX4linux</B> libs
-    from <A HREF="http://avifile.sourceforge.net/download.htm">avifile.sourceforge.net</A>,
-    and have them PROPERLY installed. You need them if you want DivX4
-    (1/2 pass) encoding.</LI>
-  <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - <A HREF="codecs.html#xvid">download and install
-    <B>XViD</B></A>. Not very useful, libavcodec's <I>mpeg4</I> codec
-    can encode with much better speed AND quality than XViD or DivX4/5.</LI>
-  <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - for libavcodec support, install libavcodec as
-    described in the <A HREF="codecs.html#libavcodec">libavcodec section</A>.</LI>
-  <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - download and compile <B>libmp3lame</B> (from lame 3.89beta or lame CVS).<BR>
-    <B>WARNING: DO NOT COMPILE LAME &lt; 3.90 WITH <U>GCC 2.96</U>! It won't
-    work properly!</B><BR>
-    This
-    is needed for CBR/VBR MP3 audio encoding ability. Note that a single
-    <CODE>lame</CODE> binary isn't sufficient. BTW: the less optimization
-    you use for lame, the better the quality will be. You can test
-    quality by running <CODE>make test</CODE> after lame's compiling process
-    is over. The resulting number should be less than <B>30</B>. Don't
-    panic if it's <B>400</B> or so, you shouldn't heard any audible
-    quality decrease. Oh, and if your compiler doesn't even run
-    <CODE>make test</CODE> ... Well, delete that <B>GCC 2.96</B> or upgrade
-    lame to at least <B>3.90</B>.</LI>
-  <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - <CODE>libjpeg</CODE> and <CODE>libpng</CODE> -
