Hi

resent got a new audio unit for the car that also plays video's.  I have some
music videos that i want to recode for the unit, I would to like to resize and
change the sound down to mp3.

Now I have had a been doing a bit of encoding but with no real confidence or
100% knowledge of the tools and the terminology.  I recently used mencoder to
reencode a vob file from the local ultra sound (having a new baby soon) and I
thought I had encoded to dixX 

INPF=$1

mencoder  "$INPF" -sws 2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:v4mv:mbd=2:trell:vpass=1 -ofps 25 -o /dev/null
mencoder  "$INPF" -sws 2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:v4mv:mbd=2:trell:vpass=2 -ofps 25 -o "$INPF.avi"


but when I tried to view it with divx codec on windows it barfed, I need some
other drivers.

So I thought come to the experts first and try and get it done right the first
time

this is the information i have gotten from the manual of the unit

# Kenwood 7039
# format: MPEG1, MPEG2, DivX
# Picture Store
#   MPEG1: 320x240, 352x240
#   MPEG2: 640x480, 704x480
#   Divx: 352x240, 352,288, 720x450, 720x576
# Audio
#   MPEG1/2: MPEG audo layer 2
#   Divx: MP3, Dolby Digital
# Audio sampling freq: 32/44.1/48 kHz
# Audio bit rate: 32-384 kbps (only constant bit rate)o
#
# must have mpg, mpeg, mpe, m1v, m2v extensions
#
# Screen specifications
#   156.2 x 82.4
# pixela
#   336,960 = 480Hx234Vx RGB


I am thinking the process I want to do is

1) extract out the sounds,  to wav and then re encode ? or if already in mp2/3
save it and use it later as is.  Maybe normalise the sounds level as well, I
hate having to turn volume up and down when I change tracks


2) re encode/ transcode the video into one of the acceptable formats, so I am
thinking divx because it seems to be a better compression with mp3 inside a mpg
file ?

I was thinking to try and keep the aspect ratio but to change the size down to
the actual screen size - there for I can keep more files on the DVD


Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Alex
