Windows command line program to encode AVI to XVID

Question

I'm looking for a command line tool (preferably with no installation) which allows me to encode AVI to XVID (as MPEG4).

I know some solutions for Linux but can't find the same on Windows (XP).

Don't bother with WinFF, just go straight to ffmpeg.

ffmpeg -i input.avi -vcodec mpeg4 -qscale 2 output.mp4

Adjust the qscale option (ranges from 1 to 31) to your needs. 1 means best quality, 31 worst.

You should try WinFF. It uses ffmpeg for the conversion.

He wants something to use from the command line. Why did you link him to an application with a GUI? – ta.speot.is Apr 28 '11 at 11:19
