Apologies for the inanity of this ... but I am not able to figure out the syntax (nor can I find it anywhere) for encoding a file.
xvidenc figures my filename is an option ... or a preset.
Can anyone help.
TIA

The options can all be seen with:
There is an example in there to start with:Code:xvidenc -help
which might provide a suitable starting point. The file or dvd is then selected interactively.Code:xvidenc -2p -p ehq
You think that's air you're breathing now?
Thank you for your help.
It now looks like it will work. But ... the input has me baffled.
If I try to encode a DVD I get the message "No such block device" whatever I input.
And if I try to encode a VIDEO_TS I get the message "Directory not specified or does not exist" regardless of what "path" I type in.
Can you explain what's missing or what's required?
Thanks in anticipation.
Concerning the DVD you should be able to test as follows:
and on my system the field should be /dev/dvd , it may be different on yours...Code:andrew@skamandros~$ xvidenc -scan Would you like to scan a video file or a DVD? [file/vcd/dvd]: dvd -> Found device: /dev/sr1 -> Found device: /dev/sr0 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvd -> sr0 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvd0 -> sr0 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvd1 -> sr1 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvdr -> sr0 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvdr0 -> sr0 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvdr1 -> sr1 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvdrw -> sr0 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvdrw0 -> sr0 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvdrw1 -> sr1 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvdwriter -> sr0 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvdwriter0 -> sr0 -> Found symbolic link to DVD device: /dev/dvdwriter1 -> sr1 Specify the DVD Device [default is /dev/dvd]:

Thanks.
It shows up using "xvidenc -scan *".
However it does NOT show up with "xvidenc -scan" - which is what I had already used.
Thanks again.
So it works for you now?

Well ... yes and no.
The first dvd I encoded produced no audio.
I wasn't sure if this was perhaps "my fault" ... chose an incorrect option or whatever.
So I tried again with a different dvd ... and it was fine.
Went back to the first, "carefully" ... and got the same "no audio" result.
What does this mean? I haven't a clue.
Try the following command and see if you need to add a few libraries:
If you have to add a couple of libraries don't forget the xvidenc -r command to reset the config file...Code:andrew@skamandros~$ xvidenc -sc -> Checking for 'MPlayer'..................... OK -> Checking for 'MEncoder'.................... OK -> Xvid video support in MEncoder............. YES -> AAC (FAAC) audio support in MEncoder....... YES -> MP3 (LAME) audio support in MEncoder....... YES -> AC3 (lavc) audio support in MEncoder....... YES -> PCM audio support in MEncoder.............. YES -> Checking for 'bc'.......................... OK -> Checking for 'pv'.......................... FAILED! [no support for DVD ISO dumps] -> Checking for 'dd'.......................... OK -> Checking for 'neroAacEnc'.................. OK -> Checking for 'aacplusenc'.................. FAILED! [no support for AAC+ audio] -> Checking for 'oggenc'...................... OK -> Checking for 'flac'........................ OK -> Checking for 'less'........................ OK -> Checking for 'lsdvd'....................... OK -> Checking for 'dvdxchap' (from ogmtools).... FAILED! [no support for DVD chapters export] -> Checking for 'mkvmerge' (from mkvtoolnix).. OK -> Checking for 'ogmmerge' (from ogmtools).... FAILED! [no support for the OGM container] -> Checking for 'MP4Box' (from gpac).......... OK If you have installed a required program but the script can't find it, run 'xvidenc -r' to reset the config file.

I'll give that a try. Thanks!
That sad, I am REALLY surprised to learn that a missing library doesn't result in an error message though.
Or is it possible that something else is amiss - some cunning code on the DVD for instance ...
O.k. Done.
Everything "o.k." except:
-> Checking for 'neroAacEnc'.................. FAILED! [no support for AAC+ audio]
-> Checking for 'aacplusenc'.................. FAILED! [no support for AAC+ audio]
One of which I see you have too. And one which you don't.
So! This leads me to 2 questions. 1 - is it possible/likely that it (aacplusenc) is the cause of the no audio problem? 2 - what can/do I do about it.
Thanks in anticipation yet again.
