[MPlayer-users] Converting AVI files to MPEG-1

[GD Lewis]

Hey, does anyone have a clue as to how to go about using either MEncoder
or Mplayer to convert avi movies to mpeg-1 format suitable for burning
to VCD?

The best I could think to do would be to use the -vo yuv4mpeg option and
then pipe the stream thorugh the mjpegtools utilities like this:

<mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg "source.avi" | yuvscaler -O VCD | mpeg2enc -f 1 -r
16 -o "target.mpg">


This is pure speculation, I have no idea if that would even work or
not.  Does anyone have any experience with this and would you mind
sharing the knowledge with a brother?

TIA!
