Gravity is a small tool programmed with gambas (http://gambas.sourceforge.net/) that lets you do batch conversion. Its completely based on profiles, and lets you use any commandline program as backend.
To run the program download gravity (ftp://minimi.dyndns.org/gravity_r1.zip) extract it, move the .gravity folder to your home folder and execute the file gravity.
You'll need gambas to run it and if you want to test one of the example profiles you need a recent mplayer with x264, oggenc and mkvmerge.
Usage:
- select a profile and drag some video files
- using kbps or mbps instead of MB lets you use bitrate
- using q instead of MB lets you use the quality option (if available for this profile)
Features:
- drap n drop
- user defined profiles using any commandline program
- currently shows the progress for mplayer, oggenc and mkvmerge
- included two pass and bitrate calculation
- automatic cropping
Limitations/known bug:
- temporary files are not deleted
- failing backend programs can take the whole program down
Todo:
- write a todo ...
changelog:
2007-03-21 revision 1
- bug: quality was replaced by bitrate, resulting in faulty command
- bug: sound was disabled for the high speed presets
- feature: dvd support (not tested - my mplayer seems to be broken)
- feature: profiles can now add suggestion to the size combobox
2007-03-20 revision 0
- first public release

Have fun!
