mplayer is very powerful and it's manpage is
overwhelming.

Once you get started with it mplayer's features become
less inaccessible.

Here is a pretty good article that I think answers
your question and provides sufficient examples to make
your quest to better understand mplayer a good start.

Or you may try gmencoder which offers a GTK interface to the basic
functionality of mencoder. It will be largely sufficient for your needs.

AVI to MPEG conversion

2006-07-14 Thread Naim
Hi

I am looking for a tool to convert an AVI file into MPEG.

I have looked at both mplayer and ffmpeg, but I can't quite seem to figure this 
out.

If anyone has the patience and knowledge of how to do this I would appreciate 
it a lot.

Best and kind regards,
Rico

Rico,

Have a look at multimedia/tovid in the ports collection. It will do exactly 
what you want.

This link provides some basic info.:

See the man pages for more details.

I'm sure it shoudl be possible with mencoder ( the video-encoder from 
mplayer ) you might want to check avidemux2, I'm prety sure it can 
recode avi files. It's in the multimedia section of teh portstree if you 
want to try and here is the official site: http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/


Good Luck,
