This software is a frontend for Mencoder, providing an additional option for users to encode videos with Mencoder.
X-Mencoder is a user-friendly Graphical User Interface for the widely-used Mencoder application. It is developed using Gambas programming language.
Mencoder is a powerful command-line tool which supports video decoding, encoding, and filtering. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License and is similar to MPlayer. With Mencoder, users can convert all formats MPlayer can read into various compressed and uncompressed formats supported by different codecs.
The software supports any media format that Mplayer does, and it can decode, read, and filter any media file that is compatible with Mplayer. Users can preview their video output with the help of most filters supported by MPlayer. They can also run Mencoder without enabling audio using -nosound, to ensure a smoother user experience while reviewing video filter results.
One of the software's highlights is the ability to copy audio and/or video without re-encoding to avoid quality loss. This function also enables users to modify audio or video alone or to put the audio/video data in different container formats. Additionally, users can configure the video and audio with various filters such as cropping, scaling, flipping, mirroring, brightening, and more.
Mencoder supports frame rate conversions and slow-motion scenes as well. The -ofps or -speed options can be used to change frame rates, and users can use the framestep filter to skip frames. These functionalities are useful for creating fast-motion "speed" effects, which are common in films. With tfields filter, users can double the frame rate of interlaced footage, creating two different frames from each of the two fields in one frame of interlaced video. This way, the user can preserve the video's full resolution while creating slow-motion scenes.
Overall, X-Mencoder is an ideal tool to support Mencoder's functionality with an attractive, accessible user interface. The software offers various options and filters that can be easily customized, making it ideal for users who are searching for customizable video codecs.
