What differences there is between MEncoderMe and QuEnc? FFMPEG?
 

I am something confused... :(


I Know than Mencoder is a encoder for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video.

Mencoder is also a front-end of libavcodec library.

MEncoderME is a GUI of MEncoder.

But...


What is ffmpeg? another encoder?

What is ffvfw? it is a codec?

What differences there is between MEncoderMe and QuEnc?


Thanks

Re: Easy questions
 

Both are frontend to libavcodec

And Mencoder is a program that uses the libavcodec library, as much as ffmpeg and ffvfw.

QuEnc runs libavcodec internally with many parameters hardcoded, but accepts directli AVS input.
MencodeME is a frontend for mencoder. You can use all libavcodecs flexibility/parameters and tweak for better quality. All libavcodec parameters are available, not just a few. But it doesn't take directly avs support (but Milan is working on it :wink: )

ehrrm ... just to make it correct. all progs are implementation of libavcodec (as libavcodec is just a library) they are more than a gui as they impose some extra options onto libav. afaik, the whole bitrate control business is such an addition as libav only contains the basic routines for that. they may different in such extent.
In this respect, quenc is another implementation with further extensions (direct avs support) while mencme is a frontend.
whoaaa ... that'd be great. imho, it's not a big deal for such a programmer like milan.

y (waiting unpatiently for 'that' release of mencoder)

And to add to this, no matter what front end is used, or how good it is, it can only go as far as what libavcodec API permits. That is, you can send libavcodec *only* the parameters each internal function allows, unless the actual libavcodec is expanded :)
But as it is, it's pretty damn good, and we are all having a ball :lol:
