encoding

[student]

I'm looking for a nice video encoder, preferrably with a qui.
which one do you people use ?

1. MEncoder -- part of the MPlayer package. For non-MPEG encoding. (It will do MPEG, too, but not as well as: )

2. mpeg2enc -- part of the mjpegtools package. For MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encoding.

No GUIs, but I believe that separate GUI frontends are available. (A lot of things in Linux are like that -- GUI and functionality are much more separate than in Other Popular OSes.)
