Hi CentOS users I am running a forum with small video clips (from YouTube and others). I convert those Macromedia Flash videos with: $ mencoder example.flv -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1000:autoaspect -vf pp=lb -oac mp3lame -lameopts fast:preset=standard -o example.avi I use mencoder RPM from Dag Wieers 1) Its very generic command line to convert videos. What would you improve? The size is much bigger than the original FLV :( 2) Is there a real open source format what I should prefer? Can you say something about its quality? 3) Whats the most painless format for exchanging videos with Win, Mac and Linux users? cheers Simon -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
