video conversion mpg to xvid

[xzseth]

Ubuntu 5.04

Hello, I have digital tv cards and lots of mpg files which I would like to convert to xvid so that I can archive them better. I have been searching the net for some time looking for a solution. There are a number of tools for converting files such as transcode, ffmpeg, mencoder but I can't figure out how to use any of them.If any one has had any experience of this I would be grateful for advice.

Thanks

Check out http://www.kraus.tk/projects/konverter/.

Its a frontend to mencoder that works as it should.

Another option would be to grab a short mpg clip (30-60 seconds) with sound, and try using the transcode command line on it until you get something that works.

Something like:

transcode -i FOO.MPG -x mpeg,mpeg -o BAR.AVI -y divx,mp3

should work ("should").

Check out the transcode wiki for command line options
