- FreeEnc 0.4
- -=-=-=-=-=-
-
- Features:
- - MPEG2 encoding using the libavcodec
- - Highly optimized mencoder parameters. This encoder should produce same or better quality than mencodeme
- - Highly tweakable: every libavcodec options are available
- - Command-line syntax is the same as QuEnc: can be used with any QuEnc compatible application, including DIKO.
- - Uses Aviynth input
-
- How can I use it?
- Just run, select a AVS (or drag and drop), put the average bitrate, the max bitrate, hit go and let it fly.
-
- How can I use it with QuEnc compatible Apps?
- Rename to QuEnc.exe and overwrite QuEnc.
-
- License
- FreeEnc is Freeware. You can redistribute as long as you keep the package intact, and make how many copies of it as you wish.
-
- Command-line options:
- Just run Freeenc /h to have an idea
-
- Acknowledgements:
- The high quality this encoder delivers would never be possible without the ffmpeg project (which designed libavcodec).
- This application was built using wxwidgets, a great multiplataform library.
- I also would like to thank the BVCD team for their amazing matrix used as default.
