    I have decided to give Linux a good trial run and I have found alternatives to all the programs I regularly use except one: AVIRecomp.

    For those who don't know, AVIRecomp simply takes a standalone-incompatible Divx/Xvid file and re-encodes it using the original bitrate/dimensions/audio etc, and produces one that's compatible with standalone players.

    I am looking for something as easy to use as AVIRecomp for Linux, but have so far drawn a blank. (im far to lazy to re-encode AVI files "manually" :P)

    AVIDemux requires specifying codec settings but it will work.

    looks like it could be as simple as:
    ffmpeg -i input.avi -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag XVID -sameq -acodec copy output.avi
    or ffmpeg -i input.avi -vcodec xvid -sameq -acodec copy output.avi
    "The software said Win XP or better, so I Installed Linux"
