multi_encoder requirements
To use the multi encoder, you need the following depending on the
output format(s) you want to use.
- Theora: libtheora (you may
also
need to compile mplayer again after installing). Also, you need to copy
"encoder_example" to /usr/bin/ !
- There is also now an MMX version, which
is reportedly 2-3 times faster at encoding.
- Dirac: to use the dirac encoder, you need the files from
here. Note that there are now
mplayer patches and directshow filters for this new, free format.
- avi (xvid, snow, h264) : see below - Avi formats
Python 2.3.4+ is also required
for the multi_encoder.
For Mandrake Users
The urpmi packages ogmtools,
libmatroska-devel and mkvtoolnix can be used to
succesfully encode to ogg/Matroska formats.
