kavi2svcd
 

Anyone tried this program for encoding? Not sure if it supports ffmpeg though...

http://kavi2svcd.sourceforge.net/

It's just a front end, which used ffmpeg as encoding engine.
It's designed to run under KDE desktop on Linux.

It doesn't use ffmpeg, sorry...

It uses transcode as framework, and (standard) the mjpegtools package as encoder.
Optionaly you can choose bbmpeg as video encoder (wich was my first attempt to make kvcd under linux), but that's veryyyyyyyyy sloooooooowwwwww.

transcode http://zebra.fh-weingarten.de/~transcode is a framework that uses other encoders in a internal pipe. There are plugins for almost any linux encoder including ffmpeg. I've been trying to use that port, but it doesn't seem to use the standard libavcodec interface so I skipped out.

:oops: you're right :!:
I thought is used ffmpeg.
But then kavi2svcd is really a "double" front end :!:
Because it calls transcode, which is basically another front end (they call it framework :cool: ) for calling other utilities ( like mpeg2enc, etc. )

transcode itself has some nice buildin utilitys, not to mention they ported bbmpeg's muxer.
On the other hand, isn't ffmpeg also a frontend to libavcodec?

... which is also frontend to other libraries, to the OS API, etc :mrgreen:
Isn't all of this a "chaining mess" :lol:

And everything being a frontend to assembly code.

Isn't that the final "frontend" to the hardware? (isn't the KT333 on my mobo a frontend to the cpu? :)
