Hello all

What is the best program (tool) for converting video files of .avi type to mpeg files ?

I used the mencoder( included in MPLAYER) but it produced for me some kinds of mpeg that could not played with last versions of "Windows Media player" :-(

any comment is appreciated.

thanks

Simple and it works.

I think you can use mencoder to specify what type of mpeg it turns it into. The gentoo wiki has a good explanation on using it I think;

note the "mencoder -ovc help" to view what codecs you have available to you.

But I need the "mencoder" for debian.
I downloaded the mplayer for debian from http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mplayer/sarge/ but it has not the "mencoder". Where can i find it ?

Thanks

Compile the Mplayer package from source, that includes mencoder (at least it did for me). I've also used yum to install them both.
