|
|
|
|
<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. And since this is mandatory (now), MEncoder is Linux-only.</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. 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>.</LI>
|
|
<LI>use <CODE>./configure</CODE> with optional parameters as usual
|
|
(use <CODE>--enable-tv</CODE> to include V4L tuner grabbing code), and
|
|
type : <CODE>make mencoder</CODE> , then <CODE>make install</CODE>.</LI>
|
|
</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>Encoding 2-pass DivX4</I></B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>The name comes from the fact that this method encodes the file <I>twice</I>.
|
|
The first encoding (dubbed <I>pass</I>) creates some temporary files with a
|
|
size of few megabytes (do not delete them yet). In the second pass, the output
|
|
file is created, using the bitrate data from the temporary file. The resulting
|
|
file will have much better image quality. If this is the first time you heard
|
|
about this, you should consult some guides available on the Net.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>This example shows how to encode a DVD to a 2-pass DivX4 AVI. Just two
|
|
commands are needed :<BR>
|
|
<CODE> mencoder -dvd 2 -ovc divx4 -oac mp3lame -divx4opts br=1100
|
|
-o movie.avi -pass 1<BR>
|
|
mencoder -dvd 2 -ovc divx4 -oac mp3lame -divx4opts br=1100 -o movie.avi -pass 2</CODE></P>
