I am trying to convert some files to animated GIF in order to use them on my site.
The files are .avi and .mpeg captured with Xvidcap.
I understand it is possible with Mencoder, but I can't seem to figure how. I have been looking at
this, but it is not the most straightforward of texts. Any ideas?
I get this output:
Code:
~ $ mencoder -ovc copy -o cap.gif capt-0000.mpeg

But the cap.gif which is the result of the output of the command, is not a gif file - and so the encoder says, cap.gof plays as an AVI file.
