Maybe you can do opendivx with OggVorbis on your machine. (Me not on 1GHz amd.) To relax from mencoders numerous options, you can also click around in xawtvs GUI for some tests first and ... nvrec is doing the job very nice and mp4live will squeeze it even more with some license restrictions. Mencoder -v should spit out what's going on and transcode, what a mess, unbuild on my disk for more than weeks now. Hermann --
