Just came back to ffmpeg after a while, and using v9767 from http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/?C=M;O=A

... this used to work with a very old version :-
-vcodec xvid -vtag XVID

but now throws "Unknown codec 'xvid'. Any ideas where the new doco is to match what appears to be changed arguments ? Or is it the build from that site ?

If this is the wrong forum, please let me know...

PS the full command line was
ffmpeg.exe -y -i %fwmv% -f avi -b 1500k -vcodec xvid -vtag XVID -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 96k -acodec mp3 %favi%

I believe they now use libxvid. I don't think they updated the docs though.

This seems to work (xvid replaced by libxvid in the command line) :-
ffmpeg.exe -y -i %fwmv% -f avi -b 1500k -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 96k -acodec mp3 %favi%
