mencoder + XviD + win32 - Quant Matrice's?

[SoreGums]

Environment
------------
Windows XP
MPlayer-mingw32-dev-CVS-041211
command:
mencoder dvd://1 -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts <stuff>

So I've gotten to a point in testing out different bitrates & settings for the built-in XviD codec that comes with mplayer that I'm upto trying out different Matrice's. Problem is I can't load any.... It says in the man pages that I can make one using xvid4conf...
quant_intra_matrix=<filename>
Load a custom intra matrix file. You can build such a file with xvid4conf's matrix editor.
quant_inter_matrix=<filename>
Load a custom inter matrix file. You can build such a file with xvid4conf's matrix editor.
I've tried to get a working cygwin environmet to compile xvid4conf, but it aint happening, I've got wrong version numbers, missing libs, i've jumped into the deep end of trying to compile stuff, not suceeding. Not to mention if it would actually work once I'd compiled it...

Is there a way to either convert the various matrices that come with the koepi & co XviD binaries to use with mencoder?
OR
Is there a way I can get mencoder to use my installed XviD (win32 binary) instead of the inbuilt XviD??

I've tried searching for various things but nothing is turning up :(

Thanks :)

After a shaky start I found out I could just copy my windows GTK2 over the top of my cygwin dirs and everything started working :D
I couldn't download GTK2 from my local source of cygwin.

Thanks again :)

Nah, somehow I'm more worried that I started up BIEW to decode your message... :D

I have a problem with the MEncoder(win32 build, by celtic_druid) with xvid encoding,
I'm successfully create the intra and inter matrix file with the xvid4conf, but the mencoder was unabble to use them,
when i add an option to mencoder -xvidencopts :quant_intra_matrix="F:\mplayer\intra.txt":quant_intre_matrix="F:\mplayer\intre.txt"
When start encodind, the mencoder show the similar message:
unable to load \mplayer\intra.txt"
unable to load \mplayer\intre.txt"
although the encoding process strat normally.

please help me:D

Well I just tried it and it works without a path. Problem is that the : in the path also seperates the options.

I would suggest as the easiest option, move your matrices to the dir where you execute mencoder :)

So

/dir
- mencoder.exe
- intra_matrix.txt
- inter_matrix.txt

@celtic_druid and SoreGums:

Thanks for the suggestions,
Because my batch file doesn't contain
F:
CD mplayer,
this two lines,
so...

After adding these two line and change somethings ,it worked,
Thanks:)

I'm using mencoder on Windows 10 64-bit.

How do I load xvid custom quantization matrices in mencoder?

I found the following in mencoder manual:

quant_intra_matrix=<filename>
Load a custom intra matrix file. You can build such a file with xvid4conf's matrix editor.
quant_inter_matrix=<filename>
Load a custom inter matrix file. You can build such a file with xvid4conf's matrix editor.

Where can I download xvid4conf matrix editor for windows 10? It is nowhere to be found.

Alternatively you could use: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=73666
(LigH posted a link to his editor and a link to a collection of matrices, works fine on Win10 and Win11)
