Transcoding/Video Conversion in Linux
Yesterday evening I found myself needing to convert some video data from an .avi format to vcd, so it seemed as good a time as any to explore what Linux has to offer.
The most useful resource I came across was the videohelp.com Linux video tools listings which give a great overview of the most useful Linux video programs.
It never ceases to amaze me what an large range of great free software there is available for Linux users. Looking for the same kind of stuff in Windows usually only turns up crippleware, spyware and viruses.
Oh, just in case you’re interested, I ended up choosing AviDemux, a great tool which can read from and edit AVI, DivX, XviD, MPG, MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, DV. and encode to VCD/SVCD/DVD mpg.
