I would convert the Real Media format to something more mainstream (with mencoder, ffmpeg or front-ends for them). Then use normal video editing software like Kino to add subtitles. cheers Simon -- XMPP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

One reason is portability to other Unices. Debian packages the GNU tool chain, which have advanced and enhanced features. IMHO Solaris native tar can't extract multi-part tar archives.

Open Source Video Codec and Container (alternative to Xvid)
Hi Debian users I am running a forum with small video clips (from YouTube and others). I convert those Macromedia Flash videos with: $ mencoder example.flv -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1000:autoaspect -vf pp=lb -oac mp3lame -lameopts fast:preset=standard -o example.avi I use mencoder RPM from Dag Wieers 1) Its very generic command line to convert videos. What would you improve? The size is much bigger than the original FLV :( 2) Is there a real open source format what I should prefer? Can you say something about its quality? 3) Whats the most painless format for exchanging videos with Win, Mac and Linux users? cheers Simon signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I know that re-encoding degrades the quality. But my eyes don't see the difference :-) I already described in other posting that I am not a fanboy of Adobe's proprietary products, pricing policy, etc AFAIK the only "real open source format" is Ogg Theora. Which codec yields the best quality depends a little bit on the bitrate you are using. H.264 is generally a good choice, though. You can use ffmpeg (from debian-multimedia.org) for this, too. How accepted is Ogg Theora in Non-Geek environments?

Good input.
There's a Debian packaged mencoder at debian-multimedia.org. Just add that
repository to your sources.list.
thanks.
It's going to be. The AVI container format isn't suitable for the very
smallest file size, and you're setting a high bit rate.
Ogg Theora springs to mind. It's totally free (no patents, no nothing).
Quality is good, but ...
Not the right codec for Mac and Windows users (software not available)?
AVI works, actually. Windows Media Video (WMV) is not open, but it's
playable on all three with the right software. MP4 can be played on all
with the right software and will give you excellent compression. Actually,
FLV is a good choice for web streaming. You can play them locally, if you
can convince your users to install VLC or something.
I don't wish to use FLV because its a proprietary format developed and
maintained by one company. I don't wish to support closed formats.
Streaming is not a requirement for me.
It means AVI is the best choice for out-of-the-box playing on all
platforms and devices?
BTW, I convert FLV to AVI with this command line:
ffmpeg -i filename.flv -sameq filename.avi
You can automate this with:
for i in *.flv ; do ffmpeg -i {} -sameq `basename {} flv`.avi ; done
Using "-sameq" gives you the same bit rates as the original file. If
desired, you can specify codecs as well, but the default MPEG4 ASP and MP2
works for me. (If size is an issue, force MP3 compression.)
With your command line options the size problem still exists:
$ du -sk test*
10072 test.avi
2464test.flv
10104 test_mp3.avi
