Hi to everyone ..

I need to encode a raw h263 stream. I was trying to do the encoding process with mencoder, but it fails when i try to manage the final video bitrate so i need another solution...

¿ Does anybody knows another free h263 encoder ?...

thanks a lot

Did you try the old x263 Video Codec (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/x263_Video_Codec.htm) developed by Xirlink?

Try two pass with mencoder to get the bitrate you want.

I'd try the h263 encoder included in ffmpeg. If you use Windows, you can use ffdshow (http://www.aziendeassociate.it/cd.asp?dir=/ffdshow) and encode via VFW.

Yes, but the ffdshow encoder doesn't support many crucial resolutions like 320 x 240 or anything besides 25fps (at least as of Sept. 9 build). And it seems like Free-Codecs is down right now... :(
