Hi,
I'm sure quite a few people already have this so I thought I'd ask first instead of wading through the mencoder manual. First, I know that MythTV can do transcoding but on my system it's broken and mythtranscode doesn't run so I'm looking for an alternative.
I would basically like to transcode my PAL DVB video captures into a format that I can stream over a home wireless 802.11b network for display on a laptop LCD. The bitrate probably can't go much above 1.5-2mbit as the network is poor in places.
I did find these settings on a posting somewhere, however, while to quality was great and one hour was about 670Mb it took a very long time to transcode both passes on my Athlon 3000XP.
mencoder <file> -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vqmin=2:mbd=2:trell:v4mv:keyint=100:precmp=2:cmp=2:subcmp=2:vbitrate=1400:vpass=1 - -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=standard -o foobar.avi mencoder <file> -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vqmin=2:mbd=2:trell:v4mv:keyint=100:precmp=2:cmp=2:subcmp=2:vbitrate=1400:vpass=2 - -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=standard -o foobar.avi
So, I'm going to keep these settings for my 'good stuff' but I'd like some 'quick' settings that could churn through, say 5 hours overnight. I tried these 1 pass settings which encoded a single pass at around 40fps and had a file size of around 1Gb an hour (but I boosted the bitrate).
mencoder <file> -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2000 -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=standard -o foobar2.avi
I'm happy to use mencoder/transcode if anyone has some good settings. De-interlacing would be a nice bonus.
Thanks, Dave -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
