Merge to MPlayer

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 (talk • contribs) 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]

Common Tasks - Better on Wikibooks?

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?

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]

Legal Aspects

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]

Alleged to be. Can you give a reference? --ClariT (talk) 22:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you are referring to the MPEG-4#Licensing issue? --ClariT (talk) 23:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See "Talk:MPlayer#Legal Status?". Inclusion into Debian is a good indicator of legality since Debian is reputedly very careful about such things --ClariT (talk) 23:24, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
