How about the reverse. lavtrans file.mov -fa -o file.avi #-fa => format=avi lavtrans file.avi -fq -o file.mov #-fq => format=qt > Also how about taking an AVI file > with Mpeg video in it (courtesy of MEncoder) and creating a valid Mpeg 1 > system stream. Never heard of that. mplayer has a yuv4mpeg (the mjpegtools' YUV stream format) output plugin with which you can use mplayer's output as input for other tools of the mjpegtools, so it shouldn't be a problem. > Or what about being able to fix broken Quicktime or AVI > files, such as Quicktime files that don't have any codec code in it? It seems that mplayer can sometimes fix them. In that case, use mplayer and the yuv4mpeg output plugin. Concerning the mjpegtools: broken files are broken and will thus not play (i.e. repair the recorder).
