Command Examples/Other Supported Formats

Introduction

The following file formats are auto-detected and supported. Some MPEG 1 videos may fail. The basic transcode session needs at least the options -i for input, -o for output and -y with your choice of export module. The following are example outputs.

 transcode -i test.X \
           -o test_divx4mp3.avi -y divx4

Where X expands to one of the following
