GMencoder

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.
