The Good:
* Commandline driven
* Many options
* Multi-platform, free, source available
The Bad:
* Does not ensure bitrate consistency accross a set of files. So a set of AVI files produced from a set of VOB files cannot be merged into a single AVI.
* The latest version available at Sourceforge (strangely) predates the version bundled with gui4ffmpeg. Currently the version available on Sourceforge does not support the "-vtag xvid" option. So users are stuck with Windows if they want to run the latest.
* According to rumor, the codec does not accurately compress at the bitrate requested by the user. Files I'm encoding are averaging 100 megs smaller than what I'm expecting. |
