Although it's been a while since I built it (last time was against 2.6.19 headers, or maybe 2.6.22), I use transcode from time to time. A few things I like vs. ffmpeg: * In certain places the interface is easier to understand for handling the different formats/backends/filters/etc. This is pretty subjective, though, since both tools encompass an explosion of options. * There are some nice tutorials on the transcode website for various activities, meaning that the learning curve isn't as steep. * Transcode is a frontend for more than just ffmpeg. So, I can use the mjpegtools for mpeg2 encoding if I feel like it. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
