Can anyone please help I am looking for free software to convert a ogm file to divx or avi (any that will play in my yamada dvx 6700 player) any help here would be great. Regards Dayspring
Video could already be DivX. Audio could already be mp3 or AC3. In such a case all you need to do is remux. Chances are that the audio is vorbis, so that would need re-encoding. mencoder -ovc copy -oac mp3lame input.ogm -o output.avi
Thank you for the reply, but I don't understand the last line. From my understanding is mencoder a proramme and does it run under XP or linux, where can I download it from ? answers to any of these question would be greatfuly recieved, thanks again. Dayspring
Yep mencoder is a program. It is part of mplayer; the encoding part. It can run under windows (not just XP) and linux (also OSX, etc.). mencoder is by no means the only way to convert ogm's. I just like it because you can remux the video and re-encode the audio easily in one go. Come to think of it though you could probably use ffmpeg to remux both the audio and video. Although when I muxed vorbis to avi with ffmpeg, ffplay was the only thing that could play it back. As to where to download you want windows or linux? For linux, I would suggest that you do a cvs check out and compile. For windows you can find my latest builds at: http://www.aziendeassociate.it/cd.asp?dir=/mplayer Alterative builds by sherpya at: http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php
