Hi,
sorry for such easy question, but Im realy in a hurry,

how can I compress *.png / *.tga output into *.avi in XVid/DivX/Mpeg-1,2,4 
codecs, and set up quality (and kb/s, and use 2-pass encoding)?

Can this be done in MPlayer (how?)

Hi

I render the frames of animation in *.bmp, then i use avicreator to make an
avi and then convert to mpeg1 with TMPGEnc. I finally got a "configuration"
for a good quality mpegs but i think i still have to find optimal one.

If u want i send you the .mcf file for configuration on TMPGEnc.

Was this what u were asking for ? :P

See ya.

  Then use mencode. It can read image files directly and create an avi
with whichever encoding you like.

I run Linux,.... Kjpeg2Avi is what I use. You can use it either from the
command line or with the KDE GUI. You should find it at Sourcefourge
repository or do a search.

Even though it says it converts jpeg to avi, it manages to convert png to
jpg then to avi. Of course, you need to make sure the frame size is correct
for avi.

hope this helps?

Read the MPlayer/MEncoder man page.
mencoder "mf://*.png" -mf fps=30:type=png -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=msmpeg4

Feel free to change "*.png" to "name???.png" and "output.avi" to whatever
you want.

Feelfree to change msmpeg4 to whatever you want that is supported; see "lavc
(-lavcopts)" under the man page of mplayer.

Man page can be accessed via "man mplayer" or online on a mirror that isn't
the main one (which is currently offline).
