-An example with VP3 compression:
+An example to convert an ISO DVD trailer to a vp6 flv file using compdata bitrate settings:

+Using vfw2menc to create codecs settings file.
+
+
+To encode with the Video for Windows codecs, you will need to set bitrate and other options.
+This is known to work on x86 in both *NIX and Windows.
+
+
+First you must build the vfw2menc program. it is located in the TOOLS dir of MPlayer source.
+To build on Linux this can be done using wine:
+winegcc getopt.c vfw2menc.c -o vfw2menc -lwinmm
+
+To build on Windows in Mingw use:
+gcc getopt.c vfw2menc.c -o vfw2menc.exe -lwinmm
+
+
+
+Below is an example with vp6 codec.
+
+vfw2menc -f VP62 -d vp6vfw.dll -s firstpass.mcf
+
+This will open the vp6 codec dialog window. Repeat this step for the second pass
+and use -s secondpass.mcf.
+
+
+
+Windows users can use -xvfwopts codec=vp6vfw.dll:compdata=dialog to have
+the codec dialog display before encoding starts.
