I'd like to convert some old-school videos from avi to mpeg1 to be viewed in dosbox by vmpeg. Any ideas?
Thanks
Jack

and exactly what the point of watching video in dosbox when it works fine in windows?

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Besides, there are other ways to view AVI files in DOS, like http://multimediaware.com/qv/ .

I think there's a DOS port of MPlayer, too.

I used to have a program called avi2mpg1.... I think that ran under DOS, and it did a pretty good job

I take it back - I looked it up and that is a windows program (it just has a command-line interface)

It might still run with HX DOS Extender, then.
