I think the time has arrived to convert the homepage to UTF-8 as well. Is there anything that speaks against this? Any volunteers to do it? Diego

Interested in contributing case studies
by Mark Pilgrim 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

I don't know how current this is, but I read in http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/wishlist that you're interested in "continuing the MEncoder tutorial." I would like to contribute some case studies in the same style/depth as http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-enc-libavcodec.html#menc-fea… (the Harry Potter example). You already have an "encoding to PSP" guide, but little else on targeting specific output devices. I've used mencoder in a variety of ways, including - interlaced camcorder DV output to 320x240 iPod 5G-compatible H.264/AAC .mp4 files (remuxing with mp4creator) - widescreen DVD movies to QuickTime 7-compatible H.264/AAC .mp4 files (again, remuxing with mp4creator) - 4x3 TV shows to XVID/MP3 .avi files to be played back on a Philips 5960 DVD/set-top box (with its own interesting quirks and limitations on max bitrate and MPEG 4 options) I've spent quite some time digging through the latest CVS docs and various mailing lists to get high-quality results in all cases. I was wondering if these sorts of case studies would be welcome in the MEncoder docs. -- Cheers, -Mark
