Video Encoding Using Mencoder
An example of using mencoder for video encoding
Mencoder is a powerful tool for encoding video files. Here is an example usage where the input video is converted to mpeg4 at 1300kbps and mp3 at 160kbps. You can put it in a batch file and the %1 will allow you to drop files on the icon as input.

mencoder %1 -o %1.avi -ovc lavc -ffourcc DX50 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1300 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=160
