Encoding Videos (including flash flv's) to DIVX/AVI with mencoder

Basically to encode any format that mplayer understands to a divx file (which is a version of mpeg4, and typically stored in an "avi" format file), you use something along the lines of:

mencoder -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=600 -o newmovie.avi sourcemovie.flv

This specifies the "libavcodec" (lavc) to do the video compression, and options to that (separate) library are given as "lavcopts". To, for instance, specify an output frame frame (ofps) of 15fps *and* to limit the maximum number of frames between keyframes to one second (15 frame thus), you could use:

mencoder -oac mp3lame -ofps 15 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=600:keyint=15 -o newmovie.avi sourcemovie.flv
