xvidenc is an advanced and powerful interactive menu-driven shell script written for the GNU/Linux operating system which can help you to encode a DVD, a (S)VCD or a regular video file to the MPEG-4 SP/ASP format using the MEncoder encoder from the MPlayer project and the Xvid library. It supports muxing the final encode from AVI to Matroska, from AVI to OGM and from AVI to the MP4 container.
