[ubuntu-in] encoding to flash videos

[Sanjay Bhangar]

Mencoder should work -- I use ffmpeg for most of my encoding, and that works
as well:
is probably a good idea to re-compile ffmpeg from source, latest SVN, using
instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg
then something like:
$ffmpeg -i blah.rm blah.mp4  should work (if all is hunky dory -- never had
to deal with RealMedia files myself... :) )
again, man ffmpeg will give you all you need as well and I think the choice
between mencoder and ffmpeg is upto you -- I prefer ffmpeg, but sometimes
need to fall-back to mencoder - and am sure its vice-versa..
Best've luck in the crazy world of video encoding:-)
