Dear friends,

I need to convert a Windows native AVI file into an mpeg file.
I would like to do the job on our beautiful alphas (5.0a), but I don't
know how.
I've already installed Multimedia Services (MME300), but I'm not able to
convert the AVI file since transcode gives the following error message:

        transcode -infile gic.AVI
        © Digital Equipment Corp. 1996, 2000. All rights reserved.
        Error:MPEG compression not supported for video in file gic.AVI.

I noticed that T64 Freeware provides a libmpeg.so library, so I tried to
use it in the following way (I did'nt succed anyway!):

1) linking it into /usr/shlib/mmeserver (beside libsoftjpeg.so)
2) modifying /var/mme/system.ini adding the last line
        [drivers]
        wave=libaud97.so,aud97
        wave=libmsb.so
        wave=libmmsess.so,mmsess
        [installable compressors]
        vidc.sjpg=softjpeg
        vidc.mpeg=mpeg
3) restarting mmeserver

But it does'nt work.
Can you help me ?

BTW: does anybody know the existence of software running on T64 for
     making mpeg movies?

Thanks a lot, Ciao from Italy,
Emanuele
