Hi All, Have some realmedia videos I'm trying to reencode to xvid with mencoder. I installed MPlayer-1.0pre8 and all the windows codecs and xvid from cvs. The man page says that mencoder will produce xvid-compatible video if you use the mpeg4 codec in the libavcodec library so I tried that first...but the videos don't play on a windows box with the xvid codec installed. Next I tried encoding with the xvid library, but I can't seem to get the commandline params right...it keeps saying I need to specify a bitrate, but from reading the manpage/other docs I can't seem to figure out the right way to do that. So has anyone gotten mencoder to produce proper xvid videos? if so how did you do it? -- Linux: the operating system with a CLUE...
