Xvid Settings

[BlacKnighTTT]

Hi everybody.

I'm new to linux.

I'm trying to encode in Xvid with Avidemux but i don't know how to configure xvid. GUI is not the same as Windows' one and options seems to be missing. I even can't choose which pass it is (1st or second when i encode in two passes) en can set bitrate (it's always target size when i'm in two passes mode).

More, I used to encode with avisynth scripts. Is it possible under Linux ?

Thanks

Welcome to the forums:

2-pass configuration is a bit different with avidemux; rather than configuring the GUI twice for each pass, just set the xvid encoder to 2-pass mode (change video to xvid4, hit the 'configure' button, change encoding type to 2-pass, and configure your other settings as necessary). Also make sure to hit the 'process video' button, and avidemux will run both passes for you when you hit the 'save' button.

Avisynth is possible under linux but tricky. You can set up wine as described in the FAQ and emulate windows avisynth 2.53. Avisynth v3 will run under linux and it is possible already to build a CVS version. However either of these methods is a lot of work. Most of avisynth's transcoding/filtering tasks can be accomplished with native linux tools like avidemux or ffmpeg.
