Description:
KmPg2 is a user friendly MPEG2 encoding wizard that enables the user to easily create high quality DVD compatible MPEG2 streams from any input video file.
Creating high quality MPEG2 streams involves a lot more than simply feeding the input video to mpeg2enc/transcode/mencoder/etc. The input video needs to be carefully prepared by pulling it through a chain of stream processing tools like low-pass filters, color correction filters, static and dynamic chroma and luma noise filters, scalers, and so on. This processing chain needs to be tuned in such a way that all irrelevant data (like noise) is removed before the video enters the encoder. KmPg2 uses the video processing / encoding tools from the MJPEGTools project to achieve this.
KmPg2 features a 'profiler' that enables the user to interactively create custom pre-processing pipelines that are optimised for a specific type of video material. These preprocessing pipelines (profiles) can be stored and used with the actual encoding wizard. For example, you could create a profile that is designed especially for restoring a single aging VHS tape, or you could create a profile tuned for your digital camcorder and re-use it for every new recording that needs to be encoded.
Features:
* Produces 100% DVD compatible MPEG2 streams from (almost) *any* input video
* Copy full surround AC3 soundtrack from AVI to MPEG2
* Supports adding subtitles
* High output quality by using MJPEGTools filters
* Create and store custom image processing presets
* Will use multiple CPUs when available
* Automatic conversion between NTSC and PAL formats
* Seperate chroma/luma noise filtering
* Low-Pass filtering support
* Contrast/Brightness/Saturation correction
* White balance correction
* Special black-and-white mode
* Crop image to Widescreen (16:9) or Panavision (2.35:1)
* Output conforms to Rec.601 specifications
* Both constant bitrate and variable bitrate encoding
* Unsharp masking
* Correct treatment of both progressive and interlaced input video
* Support for removing overscan areas
* Provides feedback to user about average/peak bitrates
* Show output on screen while encoding
* Generate encoding shell scripts
* Generate quick preview-encodings of parts of source video
Requirements:
* Kommander >= 1.0 (part of kdewebdev >= 3.3.0)
* FFMPEG
