A shell script which makes it easy to encode DVDs, (S)VCDs or video files to the Xvid video format using MEncoder from the MPlayer project.

xvidenc is written in a way to be useful for power users yet it is also very user friendly for people who are novices when it comes to video encoding. xvidenc operates by asking questions to the user, collecting input and passing it over to the encoding software. One of its unique features is the ability to use built-in video quality presets. This is especially useful to people who are just starting to encode video.
