FFMpegMenu 1.1

FFMpegMenu is a service menu for KDE.

Installation:

You must have ffmpeg installed correctly to use the iPod conversion. More instructions below.

> Installing ffmpegMenu in Konqueror:
(You must be root or sudo)

cp [location of .desktop file] /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/

> Installing ffmpegMenu in Dolphin
(You must be root or sudo)

cp [location of .desktop file] /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/

If the servicemenus/ doesn't exist, you must create it. Name of folder may vary with distro.

Requirements:

· liba52
· libdc1394
· libfaac
· libfaad
· libfaadbin
· libmp3lame (or liblame)
· libtheora
· libvorbis
· libx264
· libxvid
· libavutil
· libavcodec
· libacformat
· gcc 4.1.3

Then configure your ffmpeg source:

./configure --enable-gpl --enable-liba52 --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaadbin --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid

(This worked for me. Other options may be added but I won't cover those.)

After configuring and Make/Make Install, you should have a functional ffmpeg.

Also note: You can convert multiple files at once, but this may really slow down your computer. Each file will bring up a terminal window. Press 'q' to quit. Window will have "Finished" in the title or will exit when completed.

With 2.8ghz dual core, 512mb video and 4 gigs of ram I got 5 files encoded and a barely noticable slow-down.

What's New in This Release:

· Added .vob-type support, specified audio channels for all options.
