Lower quality of a video?

[kr651129]

I've got a few mkv files that I need to lower the quality of because I play them on my Wii via Wii Media Center and it just can't handle them. Is there any software available for FreeBSD that will do this?

multimedia/ffmpeg can do anything including make coffee.

multimedia/mencoder is another option.

There are (good) GUI options too:
multimedia/gmencoder
multimedia/arista
multimedia/handbrake

Maybe have some more, but for FreeBSD I don't know.

Cheers.
