avi to ogg converter
I need an avi - ogg converter.

I believe that the code will soon only support ogg, since this is the case is there a converter out there?  :blah:

And why axe avi support?  :confused:

Re: avi to ogg converter
Does VirtualDub support this?  IIRC, it does...

Why is the AVI movie generated by Fraps so big? How can I reduce the size?

The filesize is big because there isn’t enough time to encode the movie while the game is running. The movie frames are slightly compressed, but still require a large amount of disk space due to the high resolutions. Once you have finished capturing you should convert the saved AVI into one of the popular compressed movie formats such as mpeg or divx. Recommended programs for doing this are tmpgenc (Tsunami Mpeg Encoder), and VirtualDub.

Using VirtualDub is quite easy. To create a compressed version of the AVI follow these steps:

    * Start VirtualDub
    * Select File->Open and choose the AVI in the Fraps directory you wish to compress.
    * Select Video->Compression and choose the codec you wish to compress with (usually divx)
    * Select File->Save As AVI and specify a filename for the new AVI.

If you have Windows XP you can also use Windows Movie Maker to compress the video files. If you use Windows Movie Maker it's recommended that you keep your Fraps video files at 800x600 or under.

I actually first use VirtualDub to compress the FRAPS generated avi clip a bit and then run the new avi via ffmpeg2theora and get nice .ogg theora clips.

Re: avi to ogg converter
And why axe avi support?  :confused:

Cause it was **** code which only worked when it felt like it, broke pretty much every release, required that you hadn't installed certan codecs in a certain manner on your PC to work, didn't work on anything other than Windows and had no way to make it work while remaining within the licence for FS2_Open we have to stick to.

Good enough for you? :D

Re: avi to ogg converter
most people without theora would prefer an ogg -> avi

Re: avi to ogg converter
Theora is my favorite video codec, hands-down. Good compression quality, crossplatform, and also freely available. It also doesn't have a gazillion subcodecs/variations like MPEG4 or Quicktime.
