[SOLVED] convert rmvb's linux

[Xombie207]

Does anyone know of a linux program that can convert rmvb files to...anything?; does anyone know of a wine supported windows program that can?

[tech0007]

Mencoder can convert rmvb to avi. From avi, you can convert it to almost any format:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mencoder
mencoder input.rmvb -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=128 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1200 -ofps 25 -of avi -o output.avi

Thank you for your help...now I can erase windows and just run ubuntu.

With what program? I've tried to play a movie with Totem to no avail.

Also I tried the command listed in the previous post, but it gives the following error:

Hi etereo,

With what program? I've tried to play a movie with Totem to no avail.

The svn MPlayer will certainly play such files. I used a sample file on the MPlayer samples site and played it as follows with MPlayer:

I manually selected the audio and video codecs as by default MPlayer does a bit of searching with this particular file to find the appropriate ones . Beautiful quality on that snippet of video by the way...
