Hi there For years I have been using mencoder for reencoding existent DIVX files but recently there are problems with this tool introduced by changes in the features of the tool. I am trying now to switch to using transcode for reencoding.
Basically, given a file, input.avi (say encoded in xvid/mp3) how can I reencode it to a lower bit rate xvid/mp3 using transcode ? I have tried to determine this myself reading the provided documentation. However I dont seem to be able to really understand how to do it exactly, the examples found in transcode docs are for other things. Like, how can I list all the options supported by a module ? How can I list all the modules supported by -x or -y ? How can I list all the codecs supported by an encoding module ? Once these are answered I can start playing with the various options. In my specific example, I need the encoding to be done in 2 passes, to encode the audio only once (thus either 3-pass encoding where the first one just encodes the audio or 2 pass encoding where only the second one encodes the audio too while the first one just copies it form the original stream focusing only on the generation of the hints file for the second pass video encoding) and to not have A/V desynchronization problems because some frames in the movie might be duplicated. I also usually used "high quality encoding" for the lavc mencoder module, 4 motion vectors and trellis quantization, dont know how to enable these with transcode.
