Mencoder

 * Mencoder is a video decoding, encoding and filtering tool.
 * It has been made for video files opening by MPlayer, it needs "libavcodec" package to work.
 * It's powerful application but it works in text console (Terminal) only.
 * If you want to use it I suggest to read Mencoder manual: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/encoding-guide.html
 * or find out more typing in Terminal:

man mencoder
 * To make any encoding I prefer to use any GUI application you can see below.

Avidemux
