Transcode Wiki

Description

Transcode is a suite of command line utilities for transcoding video and audio codecs, and for converting beween different container formats. Transcode can decode and encode many audio and video formats, e.g.

• MPEG-1/2
• MPEG-4(-part 3) (also DivX and XviD variants)
• Quicktime / MPEG-PS (dvd) (decode only)
• MPEG-1-layer-1/2/3 audio
• AC3 audio

A variety of video and audio pre and post-processing filters are available, including (but not limited to):

• video de-interlacing
• audio resampling
• framerate conversion
• smoothing
• cutting

Transcode can import DVDs on-the-fly, or record from Video4Linux (including V4L2 video capturing) devices.

See General Information for a more detailed description of Transcode's capabilities. Or scroll down and choose your topic of interest from the documentation part below.
