Reading Encoding Settings

[dogar]

Hi , I want to read Encoding settings from a Xvid encoded avi and then be able to apply to my video conversion.
I have used gspot to get the video information but i am a newbie i dont understand most of it or how to use it during my conversion.

the problem is when i encode a xvid avi , it doesnt play in my mobile but this file does play very well in my mobile , also it has a small size and good quality for playing on mobile.


please also suggest tools (preferably with GUIs because i am a newbie) to encode with those settings.

i have attached an image of what the avi info looks like with GSpot. and i m also posting a link to the video file , its around 65MB

mediainfo will give you some more info but nothing can give you all the settings.

you should be able to find the specs to encode to for your mobile device on the manufacturer's website or with an online search. if not xmedia recode may have a preset for it.

Hi
They have used a program with MEncoder.
Video codec libxvid, bitrate 120Kbps
Audio codec mp3lame, bitrate 32kbps.

Does the attachment play in your phone?
I have used FFmpeg with these settings:-

ffmpeg -i "filename" -c:v libxvid -b:v 120k -vf "scale=320:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -c:a libmp3lame -ac 1 -ar 44100 -b:a 32k -vol 512 output.avi

thanks bat999 , the file is playing in my mobile , the file is also very good , but the quality is still not as of that file i am trying to achieve , i have made a comparison screenshot of GSpot values and highlighted the values which are different , you think you can or anybody else can help me achieve those setting in ffmpeg via switches ?

also if i do 2-pass encoding , will that result in a better quality ? if yes , can u tell me the ffmpeg command to do that.
