[MPlayer-users] How's this mencoder line look / how to join 2 VC H.263 files into one XviD?

[Peter Spam]

Here's what I'm using to encode my files; can anyone suggest any 
improvements?  I don't mind more encoding time - I want the 
best-looking & smallest file possible:

------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

rm divx2pass.log
i=1
for j in /dev/null 2pass-32_64.avi; do
    mencoder -srate 24000 -oac mp3lame -lameopts 
br=32:abr:q=0:vol=5:mode=3 -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4:trell:vbitrate=64:vpass=$i -sws 2 -vf crop=320:240:0:0 
-fps 30 -ofps 30 input.mov  -o $j
   i=2
done
------------------------------------

Also, how can I take 3 or 4 of my Apple VC H.263 files and encode them 
into one xvid file?


Thanks,
Peter
