Convert 2 Video MP4 (iPod & PSP) is a tool to convert mostly any video file to MP4 format, that will be playable on your iPod or PSP.

Codecs:

· Xvid
· h264
· faac

Screen format:

· 4:3
· 16:9
· 2.35:1

Resolution:

· iPod
· iPod TV
· PSP

Requirements:

· KDE 3.x
· ffmpeg with aac xvid and h264
· Kdialog
· bash

Installation:

The install script will create a directory under your home directory called .convert_2_mp4

The scripts and icon files will be kept there.

The *.desktop file will be in the standard KDE konqueror service menu directory. $HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus

For the install script to execute correctly you must be in a terminal and in the dir that it is extracted to when you execute it.

Do not use the mouse (click) to execute the install script.

Type "sh convert_install" without the quotes

To use the konqueror service menu right click on a video file and select Convert 2 MP4.

The file will automatically be converted to the selected format in the same dir it was started in. The resulting file will have the original name along with the codec, format and an .mp4 extension.

Batch convert:

You can select and convert more that one file at a time but it will take a very long time ( make sure they are of the same format 16:9, 4:3, 2.35:1 ).

Xvid is much quicker than h264.

Other information:

The service menu selections are broken down in the following format.

Example:
