GMencoder (original) (raw)


Gmencoder is a gnome-2 front-end to mplayer/mencoder. It support much of the output codecs as well as postprocesing, cropping, scale, subtitles ripping, 1, 2 and 3 passes for encoding and a lot of more options are planned.It is only tested in Linux but it should work in other Unixes. Feedback is welcomed!
NEWS 20030613 - gmencoder-0.1.0.tgz Added divx4linux/divx5linux encoding codec. Misc encoding options tab added. In this tab you can find output frames per second and output aspect ratio. Detected aspect ratio and length of the source is displayed and can be edited. Now you can choose the header of the output file (avi or mpeg). The size of the output file do not have to be a CD size. You can choose the one you want. Added a bach mode based in a queue. This way you can encode more than one source in one session. Config window added (yes, it has DVD/CD Device). MPlayer/MEncoder path detected in run time. Man page has been added thanks to Benjamin Zores. It is not installed automaticaly. I have started the TV source. It is planned network stream and (S)VCD as sources. Added gentoo linux ebuild file. Thanks to Raptor. I have change tons of things. I could have forgotten something. The next step will be add (S)VCD and network stream as source and (S)VCD and DVD outputs using jpegtools, vcdimager and dvdauthoring. Once this is added I will freeze the version and release the gmencoder v1.0. Bugreports, as always, are wellcomed but I am in a hard programming phase and perhaps I can not answer as fast as I want but be patient I will answer. 20030423 - gmencoder-0.0.7.tgz You can encode files even if the mplayer -identify tell me that the file has 0 length. Spelling and grammar fixes. Now we have tree ways for scaling (see doc). Problems returning to the gmencoder from mplayer fixed. 20030415 - We have debian package as well as apt-get source thanks to Benjamin Zores Debian Package: http://tutuxclan.free.fr/debs/ apt-get source: deb http://tutuxclan.free.fr/debs ./ 20030407 - gmencoder-0.0.6.tgz Added start position and end positond options (-ss -endpos switches). Now the configure script detects the mencoder/mplayer's path. Before now when you try to run the gmencoder with mencoder/mplayer installed in a directory different than the /usr/local/bin it did not work. 20030404 - gmencoder-0.0.5.tgz The people that use spaces in his filenames, now they can do it :-) Added a very short Documentation file. Bugs fixed. 20030403 - gmencoder-0.0.4.tgz Fixed problems with the end of line. 20030402 - gmencoder-0.0.3.tgz Fix some compilation problems. 20030401 - gmencoder-0.0.2.tgz Added more output codecs: pcm and copy for audio and rawrgb and copy for video. Now, when you try to use cropping scaling and/or post-processing together in the same ripping process, it should work. The definition of the scaling algorithms and the post-processing are in a config file called $HOME/.gmencoder_opts or /etc/gmenconder_opts. Now, you can find and example of this file in the gmencoder/etc directory. And a lot of bugs are fixed. 20030325 - gmencoder-0.0.1.tgz Initial Release.
