Video Compression Apps

[Joe Pokupec]

Hi All,

I'm a FreeBSD newbie. I have a file server set up on 4.7 using Samba for
file services and Apache for web services. I have lots of videos that I
capture from TV and save in MPEG1 (VCD) format and store on the FreeBSD box.

Does anyone know of an app that can be scripted or scheduled (using cron) to
regularly convert these MPEG1 video files into DIVX or MPEG4? For that
matter, are there any MPEG1 or DIVX video editors and/or capture utilities
available for FreeBSD 4.7?

Thanks

Joe
