I've actually had bad experiences with mencoder. Apart from 1200 options in one manpage, converting from one format to another ends premature (missing the last few seconds). While I loath transcode for what it's meant to do (it will always segfault on exit during a typical transcoding run), the avimerge/avisplit tools actually work well and are easy to use. There are similar tools for Ogg media in multimedia/ogmtools. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ 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"

Cutting one minute from a video starting at 8:09, and converting to msmpeg video goes like this: mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2 -vf decimate -oac copy \ -ss 8:09 -endpos 1:00 -o small.avi foo.flv Another example to join several files into one H.264 encoded video with mp3 sound: mencoder -ovc x264 -x264encopts nr=500:keyint=25:qp=26 \ -vf decimate -oac mp3lame -o outfile.avi one.wmv two.wmv three.wmv This program is very versatile, and has a lot of advanced options. But you don't have to use them if you don't want to. Reading the manual page carefully is advised, though.

Some files like mpg's you can just cat together and pipe to files then run through ffmpeg. Merging files of different and various types can be done with ffmpeg -i. I've had occasional troubles with ffmpeg choking on certain files then having to turn to mencoder or vice versa. mencoder is more powerful than ffmpeg in general which means ffmpeg is easier to learn. If you prefer more of a gui approach, avidemux2 is a good app. -- Adam Vandemore Systems Administrator IMED Mobility (605) 498-1610 ___ 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"
