Avidemux

Hi All,

These days with so many codecs - arriving daily into the computer world - at times growing faster than the population of India/China.... ;)

You may never get the latest films you download at home - to play on your DVD players due to these codec problems...

And the worst being the video codecs growing faster than the audio ones...

At these situations - you may have to check out what is the best video codec and the audio codec combination playable by your dvd players and then comes the next question....

How do I convert a Matruska / H2.64 video codecs into a playable VCD / SVCD formats using Linux???

Here is the solution... Use a free package called AVIdemux...

This AVIdemux has thousands of features and I hope you guys have enough time to explore all of them.. I dont have so much of time.... :(

One of the features I liked is - the Calculator feature.. where you can custom your Audio and Video bitrates to get an output file of your needed size... A cool feature indeed.....

There are templates for saving a file into different formats - like VCD, SVCD and many many more.....

Once you give all of your settings dont forget to save...

First time users - do things - carefully and with a backup.....

Cheers :)
