[MEncoder-users] help with creating avi from jpegs

[Lee Birch]

Hi Joey:

1) WIndows Media Player (not my choice)
2) No file size limitation, I believe.  Smaller is better because I have to
distribute some of them across a network.  My test files have only been a
minute long - but I could see 10-15 minute videos.
3) Yes, I could have a master video and a distributable video.  I did not
anticipate keeping the PNG files around forever, however.  You could
convince me otherwise.

I have used "vcodec=msmpeg4v2" with lavc.  It seems to work seemlessly for
my audience.  I'm concerned about this codec.  Should I be avoiding it and
using something else?

Thanks.

Lee
