Hello, I am looking for a way to convert VCD tracks to theora. I'd rather a command line tool. What would you suggest me? I already found I can do that with mplayer, by ripping to yuv and wav, then using the encoder_example to compress to theora, but would there be another better way? -- ASPO Infog?rance http://aspo.rktmb.org/activites/infogerance Unofficial FAQ fcolc http://faq.fcolc.eu.org/ LUG sur Orl?ans et alentours (France).

By the way, how did you do it with mencoder? I tried several options to encode TV signal to theora using mencoder and ffmpeg2theora, but ffmpeg2theora kept saying it couldn't find any video stream :-(> Hello, > I am looking for a way to convert VCD tracks to theora. > I'd rather a command line tool. > What would you suggest me? > I already found I can do that with mplayer, by ripping to yuv and wav, > then using the encoder_example to compress to theora, but would there be > another better way?- -- Pau Garcia i Quiles (En general no puedo contestar antes de 10 d?as, por el volumen de trabajo) http://www.elpauer.org MSN Messenger: elpauer@hotmail.com (NO E-MAIL) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCPa8r/DzYv9iGJzsRAoDEAKCjj+fSPgdCKB4KybgA7ClkFb+1KQCfQHVl r2ZBMcML3TE3BzcMkoWz3E0=Gfgd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

If you want an optimized and tuned encoder, I'd suggest running theora-encoder present in konvalo.org's environment. It uses a recent mplayer and theoraenc with an mmx-enabled libtheora and adjusted encoding parameters. Works on any Linux distribution, on FreeBSD and NetBSD as well. Regards, -- Ivan
