AutoMen 5.3 for Linux!

Thanks to PureBasic cross compiling i was able to tweak automen and porting to Linux

Automen 5.3 is tested under Ubuntu 8.04 i386 (on virtualbox) , repository medibuntu (for mencoder and mplayer update builds)

you need mencoder, mplayer, xterm (this should be already installed)

This is really nice! Can you add a deinterlacing option to it?

I was encoding some MPEG2-TS files with this frontend, it works really nice! I've searched far and wide and found only a frontend called "mvpod" and now your program AutoMen are the only 2 useful mencoder frontends for Linux.

mvpod has a great method for batch encoding, but lacks a deinterlacing option, I've talked to the author about it and he plans to add it someday.

I was wondering if AutoMen can accept a list of files to be batch encoded? I see the Queue feature, however, I'm working with about 100 short MPEG2-TS files that I want to batch encode and it's cumbersome to select and queue each one. Can I pass "ls" to AutoMen, or can you modify it to accept all files in a directory or all files with a certain extension? Thanks!

h264enc is also a working mencoder frontend, although a CLI one. It can do much more than AutoMen for Linux can do

Actually I use your script all the time, it's the only thing that I find usable for one-off conversions. The batch mode is slightly cumbersome. I tend to want to batch convert a bunch of files with the same settings. There seems to be more frontends and scripts that can do this with ffmpeg but not mencoder.

Yes I know. Decent batch processing is a bit difficult to implement in a shell script. What you can do though is configure one file and save the settings to the batch file. Then open up the batchfile and paste over and over again the blocks for each file you want to encode. The only thing you actually need to change in each block of commands, is the input and output file, and if you're remuxing from AVI to MKV or MP4, also change the input and output there
