XviD converter (and splitter?)

alitrix · 12-05-2004, 05:33 AM

Hi,

I searched the whole net for a program like this on linux but couldn't find anything

It doesn't matter if it's GUI or CLI (ofcourse a nice GUI is always preferred)

What I want is this:
- Convert XviD/DivX into SVCD (MPEG1, so my DVD player can run it as well)
- I want a tool that can split a .avi/.mpeg file into peaces (for example, instead of one file 700MB I want 2x 350MB)

I hope you people have experience with this kind of programs and can help me

Greetz,
AliTriX

try looking at avidemux2 (gui) and mencoder (comes with mplayer and is fast)

And keep in mind: recoding is potential loss of quality. Why not buy a decent DVD player capaple playing MPEG-4? Some have ethernet ports so you can play movies from your home server.

Simon, tnx for the tip I will try to use it

Emerson, yes that's right but if I buy a DVD player and my friends try to borrow some DVD's fro me then they can't play them

I know, in a few years you will find a Media Center in each house (instead of a DVDplayer) in that case it won't be a problem anymore

Btw, a XviD is much smaller then a MPEG1 , while the quality is much better it's so bad that not any DVD player can play them would cost me less CD costs
