Look forward to the update... :) @Diego

Despues de leer tu primer tutorial y ya tenerlo todo listo para codificar con ffmpeg, me he encontrado con este otro y me he decidido también a probar mencoder y ver los resultados de ambos. Enhorabuena por tus posts y tu script. Saludos desde España!! Hola Diego!!

I would have two questions, if you don’t mind: - About resizing (scale) option: Would you know a way to make the output file perfectly match given width and height? The video would have to be “zoomed” of course (like in a Pan & Scan mode) but we would not have black bars anymore. - Some input files can be interlaced (DV for example). In order to have a good output result, the file needs to be deinterlaced before scaling. Would you know a way to deinterlace a video if it is interlaced?

This seemed to do the trick. Now mencoder recognizing x264. $ cd x264 $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-pthread --enable-pic $ make $ sudo make install Working. This seemed to do the trick.

$ cd x264

Further exploration reveals that VideoLan prefers you to "git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git" to acquire x264 these days. I did so and ./configure && MAKE && SUDO MAKE INSTALL successfully. Next up is "svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer" which works equally as well. I've got your script, audio encoder and mplayer, mencoder, x264 ALL responding nicely at the bash. Yay me. Running your script informs me that "-x264encopts is not an MEncoder option" Saddest thing I ever saw. Thoughts? I've done an svn update in both x264 and mplayer with ./configure and MAKE and MAKE INSTALL's but MEncoder doesn't see to know what -x264encopts is. svn co svn://svn.videolan.org/x264/trunk x264

It may help. I wish I could explain why. @reltnek try running your line with a shorter output filename. It may help. I wish I could explain why.

I got everything working except that mp4box won't compile on my mac for some reason. It's a real cryptic error and i haven't found a resolution by searching the internet. Any chance you could email your binary to me? I'm on an intel mac book pro. thanks for the info and the mac Aac encoder.
