+
+<P><B>MEncoder</B> (<B>MPlayer</B>'s Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder,
+designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies
+(<B>AVI/ASF/OGG/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET</B>) to other MPlayer-playable
+formats (see below). It can encode with various codecs, like <B>DivX4</B> (1 or
+2 passes), libavcodec, <B>PCM</B>/<B>MP3</B>/<B>VBRMP3</B> audio. Also has
+stream copying and video resizing abilities.</P>

+ <UL>
+ <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - read <B>MPlayer</B>'s compilation instruction.</LI>
+ <LI><B>OPTIONAL (LINUX ONLY)</B> - download the newest <B>DivX4linux</B> libs
+ from <A HREF="http://avifile.sourceforge.net/download.htm">avifile.sourceforge.net</A>,
+ and have them PROPERLY installed. You need them if you want DivX4
+ (1/2 pass) encoding.</LI>
+ <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - <A HREF="codecs.html#2.2.1.9">download and install
+ <B>XViD</B></A>. Very useful on non-Linux boxes, and/or when you need
+ faster encoding than DivX4, with approximately the same quality.</LI>
+ <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - for libavcodec support, install libavcodec as
+ described in the <A HREF="codecs.html#2.2.1.2">libavcodec section</A>.</LI>
+ <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - download and compile <B>libmp3lame</B> (from lame 3.89beta or lame CVS).<BR>
+ <B>WARNING : DO NOT COMPILE LAME WITH <U>GCC 2.96</U> ! It won't
+ work properly !</B><BR>
+ This
+ is needed for CBR/VBR MP3 audio encoding ability. Note that a single
+ <CODE>lame</CODE> binary isn't sufficient. BTW: the less optimization
+ you use for lame, the better the quality will be. You can test
+ quality by running <CODE>make test</CODE> after lame's compiling process
+ is over. The resulting number should be less than <B>30</B>. Don't
+ panic if it's <B>400</B> or so, you shouldn't heard any audible

+
+<P><U><B>2-pass encoding :</B></U> the name comes from the fact that this method encodes the file <I>twice</I>.
+The first encoding (dubbed <I>pass</I>) creates some temporary files (*.log) with a
+size of few megabytes, do not delete them yet (you can delete the AVI). In the second pass, the
+2-pass output file is created, using the bitrate data from the temporary files. The resulting
+file will have much better image quality. If this is the first time you heard
+about this, you should consult some guides available on the Net.</P>
+
+<P>This example shows how to encode a DVD to a 2-pass DivX4 AVI. Just two
+commands are needed :<BR>
+<CODE>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;rm frameno.avi</CODE> - remove this file, which
+ can come from a previous 3-pass encoding (it interferes with current one)<BR>
+<CODE>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mencoder -dvd 2 -divx4opts br=1100
+-o movie.avi -pass 1<BR>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mencoder -dvd 2 -divx4opts br=1100 -o movie.avi -pass 2</CODE></P>
+
+<P><U><B>3-pass encoding :</B></U> this is an extension of 2-pass encoding,
+ where the audio encoding takes place in a separate pass. This method enables
+ estimation of recommended video bitrate in order to fit on a CD. Also, the
+ audio is encoded only once, unlike in 2-pass mode. The schematics :</P>

+<P><B><A NAME=2.4.3.2>2.4.3.2. Rescaling movies</B></P>
+
+<P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many,
+ examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs
+ are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially
+ when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time.
+ SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the
+ player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to
+ AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this
+ value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P>
+
+<P>The scaling process is handled by the <I>'scale'</I> video filter:
+ <CODE>-vop scale=X:Y</CODE>. Its quality can be set with the
+ <CODE>-sws</CODE> option. If it's not specified, <B>MEncoder</B> will use 0 :
+ fast bilinear.</P>
+
+<P>Usage :<BR>

+ example when only the audio stream has to be encoded (like, uncompressed PCM

+
+ <LI><B>Audio stream</B> (option <CODE>-oac copy</CODE>) : straightforward.
