Looks just fine on Slackware with Xfce. Nice and easy GUI, and easy enough to comfigure profile.txt. Cool, and thanks
Doesn't support directories with spaces in them. Threads option doesn't seem to work
Prompts for mp4creator, but doesn't need this installed to run.

Xvid is multithreaded.
Code:xvidenc (-xvidencopts) There are three modes available: constant bitrate (CBR), fixed quantiz- er and two pass. .............................................. snip .............................................. The following option is only available in the 1.2.x version of Xvid. threads=<0-n> Create n threads to run the motion estimation (default: 0). The maximum number of threads that can be used is the picture height divided by 16.
The default in Ubuntu and other Debian based distros are not multithread enabled. Plus they have a habit of not using NASM, so it's even slower.Linux _is_ user-friendly. It is not ignorant-friendly and idiot-friendly. -

WIth x264, it always uses more than one core no matter if it is ticked or not. With lavc it only uses one core. This is because your profile.txt has threads=auto hard coded for x264, and negates the thread option for mpeg4.Linux _is_ user-friendly. It is not ignorant-friendly and idiot-friendly. -
thanks disturbed1!
learning is a never ending process!
about threads disabled i will check when home
thanks again!

Perhaps, since x264, lavc, and xvid all use threads=$, that could be a variable that can be passed? But that seems like too much of a coding change. I don't know, I'm not a programmer. Considering your profiles.txt is easy to read and change, I'm just editing it by hand.
I've been using your program to encode a few streams to xvid, lavc, and x264, and they all work!. Have to say I really do like it. This is a first for me, as I'm a command line junky.
About the directory spaces. Read from spaces, write to no spaces works. Read from no spaces, write to spaces works. Read + write to spaces, doesn't work I even did a chmod 777 on the directory so everyone has rw on it just to make sure.
Code:"/usr/bin/mencoder" -ofps 30000/1001 -vf harddup,crop=720:480:0:0,scale=656:-2,hqdn3d -sws 2 -o "/home/keith/a directory with spaces/test_automen.avi" -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=1682:max_bframes=2:bquant_ratio=162:bquant_offset=100:vhq=1:me_quality=6:chroma_me:nochroma_opt:hq_ac:notrellis:lumi_mask:autoaspect:bvhq=1 -af volnorm=1 -oac mp3lame -lameopts aq=7:cbr:br=96 "/home/keith/a directory with spaces/test.wmv"

i use xterm to launch the encoding bat... could be this ?
xterm -e "path to bat/xvid/bat"
(any suggestion is appreciated!)
i am too a command line guy but my knowledge of linux isn't to much (just installed 4 month ago)

52 doesn't seem to work.
Code:bash-3.1$ chmod +x automen52 bash-3.1$ ./automen52 Segmentation fault

here is ok... maybe a corrupted file
try this http://www.64k.it/andres/data/automen/automen52.tar.gz
thanks!
BHHHDConvertToX, AutoMen, AutoMKV Developer -
That was quick
I can confirm that threads are working as expected for xvid, lavc-mpeg4, and x264. But not mpeg2.
For wmv, threads are enabled, but, wmv encoding (and flv) only support a single thread.Linux _is_ user-friendly. It is not ignorant-friendly and idiot-friendly. -
