Hello guys,

I'm very new in video and mencoder.

Can I use codecs from w32codecs in mencoder ? How to install correctly w32codecs to be able to encode video using these codecs ?

I installed w32codecs on debian (Marillat package) but it seems to me mencoder cannot read them.

I tried "mencoder -vc help" command, but it doesn't show anything. mencoder -ovc help shows only standard codecs (there are no third-part codecs installed with w32codecs)

"mplayer -vc help" shows me lots of misc codecs.

Sorry for the begginer's question.

Regards, Yuri

You cannot use w32 codecs for encoding. This is probably you were trying to do.

It's a pity. Can I rise another question ? I tried to do some DV output from static images and have found that libdv gives me unreasonable results. Especially with red color. I have ugly artefacts on edges of my pictures. What I'm doing wrong when I make DV files from PNG or jpg files with mencoder ? Originals are pretty good, as they pre-resized to needed resolution (PAL:720x576) by gimp (cubic) and saved with lossless algorithms. Thank you, Yuri
