+Using vfw2menc to create a codec settings file.
+
+
+To encode with the Video for Windows codecs, you will need to set bitrate
+and other options. This is known to work on x86 on both *NIX and Windows.
+
+
+First you must build the vfw2menc program.
+It is located in the /TOOLS/ subdirectory of MPlayer source.
+To build on Linux, this can be done using Wine:
+winegcc vfw2menc.c -o vfw2menc -lwinmm -lole32
+
+To build on Windows in MinGW or Cygwin use:
+gcc vfw2menc.c -o vfw2menc.exe -lwinmm -lole32
+
+To build on MSVC you will need getopt.
+Getopt can be found in the original vfw2menc archive available at:
+The MPlayer on win32 project.
+
+
+
+Below is an example with the VP6 codec.
+
+vfw2menc -f VP62 -d vp6vfw.dll -s firstpass.mcf
+
+This will open the VP6 codec dialog window. Repeat this step for the second pass
+and use .
+
+
+
+Windows users can use to have
+the codec dialog display before encoding starts.
