<HTML> <BODY BGCOLOR=white> <FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2> <P><B><A NAME=2.3>2.3. Encoding with MEncoder</A></B></P> <P><B><I>Overview</I></B> <P><B>MEncoder</B> (<B>MPlayer</B>'s Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies (<B>AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/NET</B>) to other MPlayer-playable formats (see below). Currently it's in beta stage, and encodes only to <B>DivX4</B> (1 or 2 passes) video, <B>PCM</B>/<B>MP3</B>/<B>VBRMP3</B> audio. Also has stream copying abilities. In the future, there will be cropping, resizing filters, and other interesting stuff.</P> <P><B><I>Compiling</I></B> <UL> <LI>read <B>MPlayer</B>'s compilation instructions, it contains info about how to install <I>libdvdread</I> for <B>DVD</B> support, etc.</LI> <LI>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. This is needed for DivX4 (1/2 pass) encoding.</LI> <LI>download and install <B>libmp3lame</B> (from lame 3.89beta or lame CVS). This is needed for CBR/VBR MP3 audio encoding ability. Note that a single <CODE>lame</CODE> binary isn't sufficient.</LI> <LI>use <CODE>./configure</CODE> with optional parameters as usual, and type : <CODE>make mencoder</CODE> . You have to install it manually for now. </UL> </P> <P>You are ready. As you probably know, other encoding tools need the <I>avifile</I> library installed. <B>MEncoder</B> doesn't need it at all.</P> <P><B><I>MEncoder features</I></B> : <UL> <LI>encoding from the wide range of fileformats and decoders of <B>MPlayer</B> <LI>encoding/multiplexing to interleaved AVI files with proper index</LI> <LI>1 or 2 pass <B>DivX4</B> video</LI> <LI><B>VBR</B> MP3 audio</LI> <LI>PCM audio</LI> <LI>stream copying (only from AVI/ASF now, and CBR audio only)</LI> <LI>input A/V synchronizing (PTS-based, can be disabled with -mc 0 option)</LI> <LI>FPS correction with <CODE>-ofps</CODE> option (useful when encoding 29.97fps VOB to 24fps AVI)</LI> </UL> </P> <P><B><I>Planned features</I></B> : <UL> <LI>using audio from separate file (AC3, MP3, OGG)</LI> <LI>VBR audio stream copy</LI> <LI>even wider variety of available en/decoding formats/codecs (creating VOB files with DivX4/Indeo5/VIVO streams :)</LI> </UL> </P> <P><B><I>Examples</I></B></P> <P>Using <B>MEncoder</B> is the easiest thing on Earth.
