Hi BSDers,
   I am running freebsd 6.1/amd64. I sometimes download films and they are
quite large, like 1.4GB or something. I want to make it smaller by using
mencoder, the script I use is as such:
>mencoder ddd.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -vf scale=352:240 -oac
lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:abitrate=48 -o ggg.avi

But sometimes the ggg.avi can still be a little larger than 700mB, is there
any more optimization I can do, or use other app to do this better??

many thanks!!
