| 8 <P><B><I>Overview</I></B> | |
| 9 <P><B>MEncoder</B> (<B>MPlayer</B>'s Movie Encoder) is a simple movie encoder, | |
| 10 designed to encode MPlayer-playable movies | |
| 11 (<B>AVI/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/NET</B>) to other MPlayer-playable formats (see | |
| 12 below). Currently it's in beta stage, and encodes only to <B>DivX4</B> (1 or 2 | |
| 13 passes) video, <B>PCM</B>/<B>MP3</B>/<B>VBRMP3</B> audio. Also has stream | |
| 14 copying abilities. In the future, there will be cropping, resizing filters, and | |
| 15 other interesting stuff.</P> | |

| 18 <UL> | |
| 19 <LI>read <B>MPlayer</B>'s compilation instructions, it contains info about | |
| 20 how to install <I>libdvdread</I> for <B>DVD</B> support, etc.</LI> | |
| 21 <LI>download the newest <B>DivX4linux</B> libs | |
| 22 from <A HREF="http://avifile.sourceforge.net/download.htm">avifile.sourceforge.net</A>, | |
| 23 and have them PROPERLY installed. This is needed for DivX4 (1/2 pass) | |
| 24 encoding.</LI> | |
| 25 <LI>download and install <B>libmp3lame</B> (from lame 3.89beta or lame CVS). This | |
| 26 is needed for CBR/VBR MP3 audio encoding ability. Note that a single | |
| 27 <CODE>lame</CODE> binary isn't sufficient.</LI> | |
| 28 <LI>use <CODE>./configure</CODE> with optional parameters as usual, and | |
| 29 type : <CODE>make mencoder</CODE> . You have to install it manually for | |
| 30 now. | |
| 31 </UL> | |
| 32 </P> | |
| 33 | |
| 34 <P>You are ready. As you probably know, other encoding tools need the | |
| 35 <I>avifile</I> library installed. <B>MEncoder</B> doesn't need it at all.</P> | |
