could 2video4mobile create an ouput text file with the log of the operations?
i've compiled ffmpeg with aac support, but nothing happens when I try to convert a video
hmm, I found the error and fixed it, for me it works fine again.
After copying the Servicemenu, dolphin needs some time (about 30sec. for me) to update to the new version, maybe try again?
Otherwise, I cannot reproduce the error and thus don't know what exactly the issue is...
to get proposed the name in dialogue. The '.avi' removes this extension. I didn't figure out a way to get work for all file types. Perhaps, you can.
It would be very nice, if you could add a progressbar or something like this. I played around with the 'kdialog --progressbar'. But I'm not familiar with dbus-commands to get the state of ffmpeg.

Hi,
I changed the proposed name, and I also would like to have a progressbar, but that turned out to be rather difficult and is not included yet (I don't know if it's even possible actually)

mplayer/mencoder can be used? can someone provide script for the same?
Yes, you can also use mencoder, it should not be that difficult if you use this script as draft.

hoihoi, Thank you for this service menu. It's very useful and works fine with my iPod nano. For me I edited line 51 in 2video4mobile.sh to Quote:newname=$(kdialog --getsavefilename "$(basename "$1" .avi).mp4" "*.mp4 |MP4 $FILES")
