Mencoder
Mencoder is a simple movie encoder, designed to encode
MPlayer-playable movies
(AVI/ASF/OGG/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET) to other
MPlayer-playable formats. It can encode with various codecs, like DivX4
(1 or 2 passes), libavcodec, PCM/MP3/VBRMP3 audio.
It also has stream copying and video resizing abilities.
Since it uses the same code as MPlayer, it also features the
same huge number of highly-configurable video and audio filters to
transform the video and audio stream.
Mencoder does not come with a graphical interface, and
therefore some users may also want to use a graphical frontend.
