Re: MPG-to-AVI or AVI-to-AVI software
Hello..
After trying more I still haven't been able to make mencoder worh with my
player. Using ffmpeg I've been able to make it work pretty well, but still I
haven't been able to rotate the movie. Is it possible to rotate a movie with
ffmpeg or any other external software?
I've also tried the latest version of VirtualDub (1.5.0) with wine. Finally
this version doesn't make my system freeze, but actually I get an error
message saying that the program issued a Pentium Pro instruction which my
processor can't handle, which is right considering it is a Pentium Classic
200 Mhz.
I haven't tried transcode yet because it lacks some options I need.
So mainly my only problem left would be to rotate the movie, even better if it
can be done from ffmpeg itself to avoid having to double-encode. Coudl
anybody give me suggestions about this?
Thanks a lot!
