Hi,
Just started with Linux.
Anyone knows applications for VCD (etc) that are targeted for the Linux environment (I know VCDimager and cdrDao are originated from Linux but are there any more?)
For instance, does exist something like TMPGenc but that works in Linux?
Thanks!
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

A couple of good places to search for linux/unix tools:
www.freshmeat.net
www.tucows.com
Search for mpeg encoders...you should find plenty. It will be more difficult to determine what to expect in terms of quality. Good luck. -

The few times I do bother with that, however, how I convert from MJPEG to my final product depends on the original source:
1. If it was recorded from televison, and has commercials, I will use glav (part of the mjpeg-tools) to edit out the commercials, and then then use one of the other mjpeg-tools to convert to whichever format I decide on (S/VCD, Divx, etc.). But I find the mjpeg-tools to be a little on the slow side, quite frankly (I usually get encoding from MJPEG to whatever at ~16fps)
2. If the original source was, say, a VHS movie that I wish to "digitize", then I will still capture to MJPEG (so I can use my catrd's hardware MJPEG encoder), and then I'll use mencoder (from the MPlayer package) to encode to my final format (I find it to be *very* fast! Encoding from MJPEG to my final format is usually between 45-75fps!)
Whenever possible, I like to use mencoder (and yes, I normally use MPlayer for playback as well)

Yes, you can usually find pretty front-ends for most of the tools mentioned (and I'm not adverse to using them myself; in fact, I try to use them whenever possible), but you shouldn't *rely* upon the front-ends. Actually, most of the tools I try out, if they don;t come in a commanline version, I don't usually look at them. The reason is prolly because I am usually shelled in to my Linux boxes from work, that's when I get most of my "house-keeping" done :-) But really, you can usually do way more from the comman-line than you can from the front-end (there are, of course, things like editing out commercials that pretty much *have* to be done using a GUI tool, but since I rarely do that, it's not that big of a concern for me).

Well, hope this helps, and I hope it didn't sound *too* preachy or anything...
Good luck!
