How to compress the video on the server?

Question

Video

Actually there is a server on Centos, on it there is a video in xvid, which I want to compress in 360p in order to view (I am now out of town and the Internet is slow and expensive here in order to download the original)
How can I compress the video in xvid / h264 / x264 or something else not particularly bulky but normal in quality?
I would be very grateful immediately for the command in the console which to do this.
Video parameters:
Video: Xvid 704x400 25fps 1500kbps
Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz stereo 192kbps

Answer 1

here in two pass
bitrate replace with your
$1 source file
$2 target
ffmpeg -y -i "$1" -an -pass 1 -vcodec libx264 -vpre fastfirstpass -b 800K -bt 1600K -threads 4 -s 640x360 $2_360p.mp4
ffmpeg - y -i "$1" -pass 2 -vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -b 800K -bt 1600K -threads 4 -s 640x360 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 96K -ar '44100' $
2_360p.mp4 like yamdi

Answer 2

-b is the main video bitrate.
-bt is the bitrate tolerance. I completely forgot that it was removed from libx264. You can safely remove it.

Answer 3

Almost any film is in VKontakte, and there, by silence, 360p.

Answer 4

An example of reverse transcoding, from AVI to MP2 for online broadcasting, with an increase in size:

vlc -I dummy "Kino_Ishodnoe.avi" :sout='#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=4096,acodec=mp2a,ab=192,scale=1,channels=2,deinterlace,audio-sync}:std{access=file, mux=ps,dst='"Kino_Gotovoe.mpg"'}' vlc://quit

Examples of transcode with changing codec, resolution, compression, bitrate, etc.
