CLI avi muxing tool

[scitrek]

Hi! I'm looking for a command line tool to mux video and audio tracks to an avi file. I've been two days googleing, but i found nothing. Can you help me?

how about this: http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~noe/Video-Zeug/AVIMux%20GUI/index-eng.html?

it's not a cli tool per se but can be used as such using the scripting language.

It also kinda depends on what video streams you have in mind.. say raw avc.. hardly any tools supports it but avc2avi can do it: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=89979

mencoder can also add a (vbr)mp3 or ac3 to an existing avi

I should join an AVI video and some Mp3 audio tracks... I would prefer a command line executable, but if it isn't i'll work on avimux-Gui...

Where can I find info about programming a mux tool in python?

just wondering.. why write what does already exist?

And, you're starting on the wrong permises.. what you're looking for is to execute windows executables, control them, redirect their output. I have no clue about python though, but those are the keyword your search should contain for any programming language when you mean to run commandline tools.

mencoder works as long as you only need one audio track. I'm not sure how many xtknight's can do since the tool isn't available yet. avimuxgui will definitely be able to handle multiple streams (and of more types than any other avi muxing tool).

What do you mean by that?
