Thread: Problems with mencoder and codecs

i'm posting here since mencoder used linux users.

i'm trying create timelapse video large collection of .jpeg files.

i'm using mencoder/mplayer, i'm using codec mjpeg, resulting in large video file. i'm trying use codec compress images, still giving quality.

code i'm using is:

mencoder -speed 2 mf://*.jpg -mf fps=24:type=jpeg -noskip -of lavf -lavfopts format=mov -ovc lavc -lavcopts vglobal=1:coder=0:vcodec=mjpeg:vbitrate=3000 -vf scale=1028:-2 -o bud-steypustod.mov

i'm using lavc library codecs. want use h.264 codec, don´t know library it's located in , how code has change.

oh, , i'm using windows

i guess starting point check if copy of mencoder has access h.264 encoding x264:

code:

andrew@skamandros~$ mencoder -ovc help  mencoder svn-r33648-4.5.3 (c) 2000-2011 mplayer team    available codecs:     copy     - frame copy, without re-encoding. doesn't work filters.     frameno  - special audio-only file 3-pass encoding, see docs.     raw      - uncompressed video. use fourcc option set format explicitly.     nuv      - nuppel video     lavc     - libavcodec codecs - best quality!     vfw      - vfw dlls, read docs/html/en/encoding-guide.html.     qtvideo  - quicktime dlls, svq1/3 supported.     libdv    - dv encoding libdv v0.9.5     x264     - h.264 encoding
