Extracting mpeg-4 video from xvid/divx for iPod, adding AAC

[broaddd]

I read this suggestion online that kinda made sense:

"You can take your DivX/XviD AVI files and extract the MP3 audio and the MPEG-4 video, convert the audio to AAC, and repackage it as an MP4 file, and iTunes/iPod will be happy as long as the bitrate and resolution are within bounds. On your Mac you can just use ffmpegX to do this audio conversion and repackaging. On a PC you can use mplayer to dump the audio stream, itunes to convert it to AAC, and mp4box to repackage the AAC audio and MPEG-4 video into an MP4 wrapper. To make mp4box easier to use, check out the YAMB "Yet Another MP4Box" GUI. "

But I'm not sure of the best steps to take in ffmpegx to do this, and would appreciate some ideas.

Cheers,

I, for one, would like to see how it's done in FFMPEGX as well. To my knowledge, you have to use Quicktime Pro to mux into an MP4 container.

I could add MP4 support to the MUX tool..

That would be excellent!

How soon will we see this?

I'm a bit confused. I directly convert AVI/MP3 into MP4/AAC and H264/AAC every day using ffmpegX. Am I not understanding the question? Perhaps someone might restate it for me?

Thanks
