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 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.
