BiaMovE (pronounced by-a-movie) is an advanced mencoder GUI I've written in
Python and Tkinter. Features include:
- Configuration for popularly used audio and video codecs (e.g. LAVC, x364, xvid, mp3lame, twolame etc.)
- Save/load profiles. You can create a specific profile for encoding different types of videos.
- A dialog box for common video filters - crop, scale, expand etc.
- Other advanced mencoder options not found in other video encoding GUIs.
What BiaMovE doesn't do:
- Detect mencoder/codecs installed on your system. You need mencoder installed with specific codecs you need for it to work.
- Advanced error checking. Be aware that Mencoder is a complex video encoding software and supports hundreds of options. Using certain combination of options/codecs might produce invalid, incompatible video formats. BiaMovE just passes your choices to the Mencoder command line and doesn't do much more than that.
Downloads
BiaMovE-0.1.tar.gz (Download for Linux/*Nix)
BiaMovE-0.1.win32.exe.zip (Downlod for Windows)
biadvdlister-1.0.tar.gz Optional program to list contents of a DVD used by BiaMovE's DVD dialog. Works only Linux/*Nix as it requires libdvdread.

- [Optional] For the biadvdlister program to work (only in Linux) - libdvdread libraries and headers (for compiling). Download from http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/development.shtml. libdvdread is usually packaged in many distributions.

If you have any doubts feel free to ask for clarifications! Please download and test this program and give me feedback. If anybody wants to package BiaMovE for their distribution please do so.

When I installed biamove, it put it somewhere in the Python25 folder. But I cannot seem to find the executable to start the gui?

python biamoveI'll have to release an executable version of this program for Windows - currently it's released as a Python module so there's no direct EXE file to run.
