I convert a file from avi to wmv with FDSHOW if I need to edit it I put it
in my Windows MovieMaker ;)
http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?FFDSHOW
FFDSHOW is a DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing DivX, XviD, WMV,
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 movies. It uses libavcodec from ffmpeg project for video
decompression, postprocessing code from mplayer to enhance visual quality of
low bitrate movies, and is based on original DirectShow filter from XviD,
which is GPL'ed educational implementation of MPEG4 encoder.
First of all, the FFDSHOW consumes way less CPU power than original DivX
codecs, even with maximum post-processing. At the same time the
post-processing seems to give excellent quality results and allows more
configuring than the original DivX 5 codec. It can even automaticly reduce
post-processing if your CPU is getting overloaded. The noise filter adds a
kind of a rasterising effect to the picture - might be useful in some cases.
The alpha version also includes experimental playback for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
files (such as VCD and SVCD movies), which works pretty damn well. Only
problem is that MPEG-2 playback can't play the SVCD clips directly from the
CD, but requires the video to be extracted to the HDD by using VCDGear
first.
Features of FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder :
- various compression methods:
· MPEG 4 compatible (Xvid, DivX 4, DivX 5) using libavcodec or XviD
· Divx 3 compatible, MSMPEG4v2, MSMPEG4v1
· WMV1/7, WMV2/8
· H263, H263+
· HuffYUV in YV12 colorspace
· MJPEG
· MPEG 1
· Theora (not for regular use, format isn't stabilized yet)
· MPEG 2 by using mpeg2enc code from MJPEGtools project
· all Windows Media Video 9 supported encoders with output to asf/wmv file
or AVI
- all common encoding modes: constant bitrate, fixed quantizer, fixed
quality, two pass encoding (depends on compressor features)
- for libavcodec and XviD detailed selection of motion estimation method
- minimum and maximum I frames interval
- minimum and maximum quantizer selection, quantizer type and trellis
quantization selection for libavcodec
- adaptive quantization (aka. masking) for libavcodec and XviD, single
coefficient elimination
- selectable compression of starting and ending credits
- two curve compression algorithms for second pass of two pass encoding -
thanks to XviD developers
- second pass simulation: although not very precise, still helpful for
tweaking advanced curve compression parameters
- ability to use libavcodec internal two pass code
- image preprocessing with ffdshow image filters (latest ffdshow version
must be installed)
- graph during encoding: if your encoding program doesn't provide one
- B frames support: from one to eight consecutive B frames
- support for MPEG 4 quarterpel and GMC
- selectable interlaced encoding
- decompression
