<br>For the archives really. I've been trying for a while to convert divx to wmv (with wma audio) using VLC 0.8.6a and FFMPEG 0.4.9-0.35.20070204 on Linux. (Works fine on Windows)<br><br>I got the video without sound problem and the error message that Windows Media Audio 1 (or 2) encoder could not be found.
<br><br>I downloaded FFMPEG from svn and built it with the enable-encoder options and tried again with VLC but still the same problem. I looked at building VLC, but decided to just try it with FFMPEG first with:<br><br>ffmpeg -i
file.avi -vcodec wmv2 -b 1500kb/s -acodec wmav2 -ab 96k -ac 2 file.wmv<br><br>And it works perfectly, quality isn't great but it plays back on the Xbox 360 fine.<br><br>FFMPEG info - <br>FFmpeg version SVN-r8759, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
<br> configuration: --enable-decoder=wmav1 --enable-decoder=wmav2 --enable-shared --enable-encoder=wmav1 --enable-encoder=wmav2 --enable-encoder=wmv3 --enable-encoder=wmv2 --enable-encoder=wmv1<br> libavutil version: 49.4.0
<br> libavcodec version: 51.40.4<br> libavformat version: 51.12.1<br><br>Tried to encode wmv3 and got no joy.<br><br>I know this isn't a specific VLC issue, but I know a lot of people have this problem on linux as i've searched the forums looking :-)
