Can Vlc transcode from Mp4 to Mpeg4/Xvid/Divx?

Postby kimiraikkonen » 18 Aug 2012 12:43

Hi,
I know Avi container isn't fully supported but i still see 'avi' as encapsulation container in transcoding settings.

So i Just want to convert my Mp4 (Avc) videos to Xvid or Divx using Vlc. Is that possible?

Which recommended settings should i care for that conversion?

Thanks!

Can you elaborate this? I need to do the conversion via Vlc Gui, so a screenshot is appreciated.

I want to play Mpeg4-based Avi file on my standalone Dvd-divx player which is transcoded from Mp4 (Avc).

And i couldn't find mp4v on gui interface while selecting video codec. Selecting mpeg4 fails with no error. That's why a screenshot would be really nice including recommended version. (I also tried with 1.1.9)
