<H2><A NAME="encoding">2.4 Encoding with MEncoder</A></H2>
-<P>MEncoder (MPlayer'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/PVA</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>VBR MP3</B> audio. Also has powerful plugin system
- for video manipulation.</P>
+<P>For the complete list of available MEncoder options and examples, please see
+ the man page.</P>

- 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

- <B>XViD</B></A>. Not very useful, libavcodec's <I>mpeg4</I> codec
- can encode with much better speed AND quality than XViD or DivX4/5.</LI>
- <LI><B>OPTIONAL</B> - for libavcodec support, install libavcodec as
- described in the <A HREF="codecs.html#libavcodec">libavcodec section</A>.</LI>

- <B>WARNING: DO NOT COMPILE LAME &lt; 3.90 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
- quality decrease. Oh, and if your compiler doesn't even run
- <CODE>make test</CODE> ... Well, delete that <B>GCC 2.96</B> or upgrade
- lame to at least <B>3.90</B>.</LI>
