DIVX3 Video only audio

[fabero]

Thanks to all.

For those have same issue this is my solution:

go in ssh and at command line do

Code:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

This command install the useful ffmpeg for video conversion.

After ffmpeg is installed to convert to more convenient xvid codec do this command.

Code:

ffmpeg -i filenameinputvideo -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag xvid filenameoutputvideo

This convert the video in XVID and can be viewed without problems with XBIAN/XBMC.

UPDATE:
ffmpeg seems to be deprecated, so there is another way:

Fist of all, install mencoder

Code:

sudo apt-get install mencoder

Next there are 2 methods for conversion to xvid.

For high quality but a little slow conversion you can do the command:

Code:

mencoder input.avi -ovc xvid -oac copy -xvidencopts autoaspect:bitrate=16000:chroma_opt:vhq=4:bvhq=1:quant_type=mpeg -o output.avi

For a good quality and speedy conversion do:

Code:

mencoder input.avi -ovc xvid -oac copy -xvidencopts autoaspect:bitrate=16000 -o output.avi
