It uses 3 UNIX encoders and allows you to encode or re-encode video with such compression algorithms as MPEG-4 (Part 2), DivX3, H.263, H.264 and XviD.  The current version as of August 2, 2006, is 0.099w r5 and is in Universal Binary.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a8  <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Since ffmpegX relies on UNIX encoders, you must install them in Library folder in the System before you actually encode video.  If you had a non-Universal version of ffmpegX and are now trying to use a Universal version, note that you cannot use old UNIX encoders because they must also be in Universal binaries.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a8<\/p>\n<p>The strength of ffmpegX is its access to MPEG-4 functions.  Depending on which encoder (ffmpeg, mencoder or mpeg2enc) you use, you can enable or disable MPEG-4 functions including 4-motion vectors, Trellis quantization, Quarter pixel and so forth.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<li>This VTC version: 1.0.1<\/li>\n<li>Video length: 8 minutes 33 seconds<\/li>\n<li>Video format: QuickTime<\/li>\n<li>Video compression: H.264<\/li>\n<li>Video resolution: 720 x 540 pixels<\/li>\n<li>Audio commentary: Not available<\/li>\n<li> Correction: If you don&#8217;t know what to do with I-frame interval, be advised to set it to 300, as opposed to [5 times the frame rate] unless compressed video is used for Internet streaming.
