hi everybody,

please excuse my bad english grammer style, i'm not a native english
speaker. perhaps somebody finds following script usefully somekind. i use
it, to convert my movie-records from *vdr in *avi-files. please send me
further suggestions it looks hacky a little bit. i'm testing some
border-detection too, perhaps some times later we will integrate this.

greetings from germany,
Andreas Reichel

# simple bash-script to transcode multiple *.vdr files to cd-sized
avi-files in mpeg4-format# use it, to convert videos recorded from
dvb-cards# use it for free, but please send me copies of modifications 
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------# simple howto:
#
# 1) record the movie using vdr [1] and the linux-dvb-drivers [2]
# 2) cut the movie using vdr [1]
# 3) run this skript to convert the pva-pes formatted movie-files to
ps-formated mpegII-files using #    pvastrumento [3] and wine [4]
# 4) run this skript in directory of movie-files to transcode [5]  
# 5) optional: burn the avi-files to cdrom
