[MEncoder-users] Problems to encode in x264

[Anthony Jacob]

Hello,

I'm new on the ML and I would learn to encode video under Linux.
To test, I would encode a DVD to mkv ; for that I use Tuxrip 
(http://tuxrip.free.fr), but I'm not satisfacted of the quality of 
video. So I would try to encode with the x264 codec, but I haven't tried 
to success :

-mc 0 -nosound -vf crop=704:576:10:0,scale=496:384 -ovc x264

tux anthony # emerge -ptv mplayer

Can any one help me please !?
