RE: This could be a wild goose chase but ...
Hi Roland I took a peek at MEncoder, seems to work just fine, just a matter of having a play with the settings to get the quality / file size balance correctly, thanks for the hint.

Have you looked at alternatives like mencoder, of ffmpeg2theora. They work just fine on amd64. They use much the same libraries. Mencoder does H.264 encoding very well, But ffmpeg2theora gives _much_ smaller files with good quality. It's weakness is that it cannot handle AC3 (dolby digital) very well. So I like to resample the audio first with mencoder, and then convert to theora video with ogg audio.

There is an entry in the FreeBSD Wiki regarding building emulators/wine on amd64 and running in an i386 chroot environment. Your mileage may vary, of course. http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine#head-6963d527c173e57b1567e881305b544d33435b6d -- Glen Barber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
