The encodingcore takes as an argument a tuple which passes the settings, this need to be changed to a dictionary to allow more flexibility. I would like to have the choice of the video container, avi, mkv, the choice of audio, mp2, mp3, ogg, the choice of bit-rates and the choice of encoder. AFAIK ipods like x264. :) den_RDC wrote the original code and I've hacked it to work in freevo-1 and added re-encode. From this work it should not be too hard to do but it is a biggish job. > Would be very impressed and thankfull to anyone who could make > something similar.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
