[gentoo-user] [OT] codec for video embedded in presentation

[Francisco Ares]

Hello All,

I know this is WAY off- topic, but I have seen topics in many different
areas, probably some gentooers will be glad to share experiences.

I am trying to create some videos for a M$ Office presentation. Some are
from "recordmydesktop", which produces an OGG video, that I have to
convert, so "Powerpoint" will open it without complaining. (I know the
trick about renaming the video file to AVI extension, but this does not
work always)

So I would like to know witch is the best/correct codec to encode/convert a
video file for proper use with M$ Powerpoint.

I have being using this script for testing:

#! /bin/bash
mencoder "$1" -oac pcm -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=ffv1:vbitrate=1200:vme=4:mbd=2:v4mv:dia=-1 -ofps 25 -o test.avi

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks a lot
Francisco
