4. Excellent work! If nothing else, I'll download your stuff to take a look at how you make and save profiles. I am working on something open source myself (and yes, in Python and TkInter)

5. Sudipta, to save/load profiles, I use the ConfigParser module built-in to standard Python to create/read configuration files (format like .ini files).

6. hi
   
   I think your BiaMove is GREAT,and want to translet it to chinese.
   
   And I want to package it into a DEB package,with a menu shortcut and some preset profile.
   
   Can you give me a email or homepage about this Program?
   
   can I host my traslation and package in google code?
   
   My email is me[at]mrxu.net.
   
   Sorry for my poor english.

7. You can package it with Debian and translate it to any language you want.
   
   It's licensed under the GPL. And the home page is this same page. I don't have a separate home page for it.

8. Hey can anybody tell me where I can find a gui that will do BATCH encoding of Xvid with vbr lame audio?

9. Dave, you need to do a google search. I've not found such a GUI tool myself and I don't need one either. If I have a need to do batch encoding, I'll probably create one. ;D
   
   I'm sure there are some Windows video editing software tools that can do batch encoding. I just haven't time to look for them.

10. :no: I have downloaded mplayer and mencoder (also gmplayer, mpui and vlc) and then when I went to install biamove, I first installed Python.
    
    This is on Win Vista.
    When I installed biamove, it put it somewhere in the Python25 folder. But I cannot seem to find the executable to start the gui?

11. Hi Ricgal, right now you need to run cmd.exe from the "Run" command:
    
    Then within the command line use the command:
    python biamove
    
    I'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.

12. Hi Hari
    Your program looks good however I'm having a problem running it in Ubuntu
    When i hit the encode button I get a message " Are you sure you wish to encode (in *nix you must have TERM environment set). Can you please help?

13. George, you mean you are not able to get it to work even if you click "Yes"? In that case, it's a bug with Tkinter which is the GUI used by the program, because it was working correctly earlier. The button click is not being correctly interpreted for some obscure reason.
    
    I have submitted a bug report to Debian about this issue with Tkinter's built-in message dialog. Sadly I've not seen any response from the distribution package maintainers.
    
    If I have to solve this problem, I have to remove the confirmation dialog from the code and encode directly after clicking.

14. Hi Hari
    Yes, even if i click Yes, nothing happens, just the error message.
    if you could fix it that would be great.
    Thanks

15. Currently there is no fix except to remove the confirmation dialog box. I will do that in the next release if the original issue is not fixed by the Debian/Ubuntu Tkinter developers.
    
    In the meantime, I will send you a patched version of the mainwindow.py file by email which you must replace in the application directory.

16. Hi,
    
    Will you be releasing the windows version soon? i am using automen for the moment but it lacks the option of mpeg/h.263 quantisizer choice.

17. This program is cross-platform Python source code, so it will work under Windows so long as you install the Python interpreter, Mplayer and Mencoder. All of them are also available for Windows.
    
    There is no need for a "port".

18. The program seems great! But I am having the same "Cannot find a suitable terminal" problem (value TERM not set). Can you please post/email a fox for that?
    
    Thanks

19. Just SOLVED the TERM variable problem.
    Start the program from inside a terminal!!!
    You state that already in http://harishankar.org/software/biamove.php
    
    Comment by Evangelos (visitor) on Mon, Jan 4, 2010 @ 05:26 IST #
20. No problem, Evangelos. In Linux/UNIX, usually the TERM environment variable is set when you open a program through the console or a x-term window. Glad you were able to find the answer.
