Convert AVI to SVCD on Linux with avidemux

Make sure you have "avidemux" and "mplex" (mplayer) installed and you're ready to go for converting any AVI to a VCD or SVCD MPEG.


Open avidemux, load the AVI you want to convert and make sure you have the following settings:
video:
SVCD 
-> configure
	encoding type: single pass:quantizer
	bitrate: [empty]
	quantizer: 4
	interlacing: progressive
	aspect ratio: 4:3
	matrix: default
	gop: 12
	max bitrate: 2500

audio:
FFm MP2
-> configure
	bitrate: 224 kbits
	mode: stereo

format:
MPEG video

Now hit the F1 button, make sure that nothing is active in the window by clicking on any options and clicking "remove". Now click the "SVCD red" button to set the right resolution. Click OK.


F1 button =>
mplayer resize 512x384 -> 424x480
add black borders
424x480 -> 480x480

Now go to FILE -> SAVE -> SAVE VIDEO and save the video as filename.m2v.

Now go to AUDIO -> SAVE and the audio as filename.mp2

This will take some time - after that, you just need to multiplex the video and audio with:
$ mplex -f 4 -o filename.mpg filename.m2v filename.mp2



This worked very well on some digital camera AVI, but may not work on other videos. Use with caution!
