convert dv type 2 to mp4?
Hello, I have used dvgrab to extract the video from a mini DV tape, via firewire. The result is a series of type 2 .dv files, each one a gigabyte in size. How do I use mencoder to convert the series into a single mp4? That is, convert from type 2 dv to mp4, and also join them together into a single video. Thanks! Nick

MEncoder hasn't been supported for a long time; you would do better to switch to FFmpeg which can now do essentially everything that MEncoder could, and more. Google for 'FFmpeg concat' and you will find the syntax. It will be something along the lines of ffmpeg -i concat:'file1.dv|file2.dv' -y output.mp4 -- Peter ____________________________________________________________ Can't remember your password?
