I tried sourceforge and all I got were front ends to mencoder, and YAST didn't find it. Where do you get it ?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

mencoder is a black art some things to remember are avi is a container, not a codec mpeg is both a container and codec there are command lines to change only the container (avi to mpeg) the options for specify the codecs to use (or not use) are -oac & -ovc to change just the container is -of mpeg so mencoder source.file -ovc copy -oac copy -of mpeg -o newfile.mpg see http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/index.html B-) On Thursday 04 November 2004 03:20 pm, Paul Cartwright wrote:

I have not been following this thread but this may be of use. kavi2svcd is a GUI for generating VCD/SVCD/DVD-compliant MPEG files from an AVI or MPEG file using transcode and mplex. It then generates a Video CD image using vcdimager and burns to CD with cdrdao. http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=16839 -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
