MOUvie Converter is a little movie converter script for converting different video files on the fly during Right-Klick over one or more Video files in Nautilus.
Converts to DVD, VCD, MVCD, SVCD, MSVCD, MPEG-TS, MP4, XviD, WMV 7 & 8 and to PDA, PSP, PS3, Xbox360, IPod and IPhone format. (More will come)
New: Windows Media Video (WMV 7 and WMV 8) , PS3, Xbox360, IPod and IPhone output formats
New: Flash Video and OGG input formats
New: Support for Multithreads added (up to 4 Threads)
New: GFX Installer
Older News: Installer
Older News: DVD convertion (just start the script WITHOUT selecting any file. You will be asked to select the VIDEO_TS folder.)
Older News: see changelog for more information
It needs
- zenity
- lsdvd (you should have it in your repostitory)
- ffmpeg (you should have it in your repostitory)
- mencoder (you should have it in your repostitory)
- MediaInfo (the CLI version) (you can get it here: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net for various Linux Distributions. Also we need two Libs from that Website: libmediainfo0 and libzen0)
Installation:
- Download the mouvie_converter-{VERSION}.tar.gz to any directory you like.
- Open an console or open it in an Archivemanager
- Type tar xfz mouvie_converter-{VERSION}.tar.gz in the console to unpack.
- Change in movie-converter-{VERSION} directory with Nautilus
- Doubleclick install.sh and select "Run Application"
Now the installer will start. Simply follow the informations ...
Settings:
If you want to change some settings, you can delete the following file: ~/.mou_mc_setting
After that you will be asked some questions when you start MOUvie Converter the next time.
Output File Name:
The converted file(s) are named like:
For DVD in PAL: DVD_filename.mpg
For MPEG4 in NTSC: MP4_filename.avi
For VCD in PAL: VCD_filename.mpg
and so on ...
The Destination file(s) will be saved in the same directory you selected the source file(s).
I Need Help
- Can someone conferm NTSC convertion? I have only PAL tv-system for testing.
- Can someone conferm PSP, PS3, Xbox360, IPod and IPhone setting? I haven't one for testing.
- Help with translations in other languages. Please contact me if you are interested.

sorry for late answering.
I am currently working on your request.
Until know i have rewritten a lot of code. The main problem for HDTV is, that i don't have any HDTV device at home. So i can not test the settings.
Your XVID request is working.
The next release will follow in a few days.

thanks for writing,
can you send me the output of an console message?
Please type in "which mediainfo"
It should be something like "/usr/bin/mediainfo"
But i can tell you an little workaround for instlling.
Open install.sh with Gedit an change in line 160 PKG_CHECK=$? to PKG_CHECK=0
The installation should finish now.
bye...

I was wondering, have you tried adding a resolution of 1280x720 in the script?

in this version (0.0.4) it is not possible to convert to HDTV formats.
And i don't understand what do you mean.
Why do you installed libavcodec-unstipped?
In opinion it had nothing to do with the failure when installing MEDIAINFO (not found) message you posted above.
What have you done? Please explain it for me step by step.
