Merge to MPlayer

edit

MEncoder is largely unmaintaned at this point and is more or less an artifact of MPlayer development. Does it really warrant its own article, or should it be mentioned as part of MPlayer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarcieri (talkcontribs) 23:51, 10 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Both keep better seperated. mplayer is on tool. mencoder is another tool. it uses output of mplayer for converting by internal piping. Dieter 87.182.53.153 (talk) 19:45, 30 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Support, hopeless stub with only one reference at the moment, it should be merged into MPlayer. –Be..anyone (talk) 05:03, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Common Tasks - Better on Wikibooks?

edit

The common tasks section looks like it's an instruction manual, so would be better if moved to wikibooks in my view --h2g2bob 13:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Agreed and done --Monotonehell 14:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Someone should put a link to the wikibook entry, as the reader might not find it easy to get to the info otherwise. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.15.208.98 (talk) 14:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC).Reply
I did, it's right up at the top. --Monotonehell 01:06, 4 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wherever it goes, I'd love to see more... for example, say someone has a 30 minute or so title on a DVD meant for TV play, but they want to put it on a reasonbly small size mpg/avi/mov/wmv or whatever on their computer, what arguments would resize things down reasonably, etc. The flv to avi conversion in their now is great to know too!

Difference between MEncoder and FFmpeg?

edit

There's a lot of overlap between MEncoder and FFmpeg. Aren't they both use libavcodec? So how are they different, in fact? 88.153.236.136 13:27, 2 September 2007 (UTC) (ClariT (talk) 23:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC) added wikilinks)Reply

edit

Hi Using FFmpeg and MEncoder for some codecs in US is illegal becouse they are patented. Please include in this article more about legal aspects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.27.1.247 (talk) 10:53, 15 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why is there a redirect to MEncoder for MeGUI?

edit

Currently anyone looking up "MeGUI" will get redirected to "MEncoder", which is of course a completely different project with no shared history or components.
I can see absolutely no valid reasons for such a redirect to exist.
If you don't know either projects, compare their web pages and I am sure you will agree:
http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/MeGUI
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/info.html
The redirect should be removed and MeGUI get an article of its own, as it is a piece of software of major importance for both external software development and common usage in some high impact video encoding communities.
