[MPlayer-users] How convert this format?

[Rainer Hantsch]

Hi!

My Fuji Digital Camera is able to record movies, too, so I tried this
yesterday. The resulting file is an AVI file, containing an MJPEG video
stream and a raw PCM Audio stream.

Here what my mplayer tells me:

Detected AVI file format!
VIDEO:  [MJPG]  640x480  24bpp  30.00 fps  9214.6 kbps (1124.8 kbyte/s)

VO: [xv] 640x480 => 640x480 Packed YUY2



Well, mplayer is able to play this file, but I am afraid that other players
will run into troubles (i.e. when I try to play such a movie on my iPAQ 3800
with familiar/opie/xine, I see a _very_slow_motion_ movie with no sound).

So I would like to convert the whole movie into a standard DivX4 movie.

I tried that with the same method(s) as I use when converting other movies,
but I get a double speed sound with a lot of noise.

If somebody could give me a hint on how to do that, please? I assume that no
newer software will be required, because mplayer is already able to play the
file (so it is able to fully decode it). Because I am also able to encode
DivX4, the second part (mencoder) should also be sufficient.
