thanks for your reply. This sentence is not exactly easy to understand "For the install script to execute correctly you must be in a terminal and in the dir that it is extracted to when you execute it."
So when the script did not appear at first (before I have deinstalled Dolphin) I thought I may have done smth. wrong.
As to the step by step I would just make in this way:
1. Extract the content of the archive to any directory
2. start shell and chdir to this directory
3. run "sh convert_install"
4. The install script will create a directory under your home directory called .convert_2_mp4
The scripts and icon files will be kept there.
5. The *.desktop file will be in the standard KDE konqueror service menu directory. $HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
To use the konqueror service menu right click on a video file and select Convert 2 MP4.
The file will automatically be converted to the selected format in the same dir it was started in. The resulting file will have the original name along with the codec, format and an .mp4 extension.
But before all, could you comment on your choice of ffmpeg? This is what I am most interested in. |

It has produces incompartible mp4 for a 4:3 source and 16:9 was playable on PSP but sound was jumping. Why do you use the xvid and ffmpeg instead of x264 and mencoder anyway? Do you get better results?
Look, here is a script that works for 16:9 for me all the time. It is simple and can use double core. Last string creates thumbnails for PSP.
Could you integrate this one into your scripts?
# $1 is a file or dvd://1
# $2 is a name to give to the result files
echo "$1"
CROP=$(mplayer -vf cropdetect -endpos 200 "$1" 2>/dev/null |grep "CROP"|tail -1|sed -e's/^.*(\(-vf.*\)).*$/\1/')

I have removed Dolphin from my system, as it was crashing way too often anyways and now the convert script works as described by the Author. Thanks for the useful script! |

can you please just add a step by step instruction on how to install your script?
Like download to a folders so and so,
Extract to folder so and so
chdir to some folder and run this and that.
I have extracted it into some directory, chdired there, in the shell executed sh convert_install. The files were placed into ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
but the menu still would not appear in konqueror. Neither does it appear in Dolphin, wich is a default file browser in Kubuntu 7.10 as it seems. |

h264 with ffmpeg does not work on my (unmodded) psp. :-( |

Here is a shell script that works for me to convert to a format that an unmodded PSP with firmware v3.71 can play natively. At the end is a quick hack to make a thumbnail, if you're lucky it will sample a thumbnail at a correct spot.
I would be happy to see this added to your kmdr script.
