Apologies for jumping straight in with questions, but I only discovered this site this evening, whilst hunting for the more up to date version of AVIConverter
It appears that both the new version of this software, and the one I'd used previously some time ago use MEncoder to do their dirty work, simply passing various command line options to it.
Someone looks to have done some work on tweaking the options to suit PAL source material etc, but I'm (very) familiar with MPlayer and MEncoder and fancy going a bit further. My questions, therefore, are this:
Are people interested in more precisely tuned MEncoder settings?
Are they only interested in those ones that can be used from within AVIConverter? Or are they willing to use the command line?
Has anyone already done some work on this sort of thing? What worked and what didn't?
In particular, did anyone do some comparissons betwenn lavc's xvid encoder and the external (although statically linked) xvidenc library?
Do people have a "maximum processing time" in mind? Or should I feel free to add in multiple video filters, time consuming xvidenc options to get every bit of quality per megabyte?
Anyone with any requests, suggestions, moral support, assistance or opinions is more than welcome to chip in before I set to work
