[vdr] vdr2divx suggestions ? (poll)

[ma.hoff@t-online.de (Martin Hoffmann)]

Hi,

at the moment i consider writing a complete new version (2.0) of my vdr2divx 
scripts, maybe in c++.
It should contain all the features and automatism the 1.6.0 pre1 (to be more 
precisely the 1.6.0 pre2 , which wasn't released yet) has.

However it should be configurable via 2divx.conf and act fully automatically, 
just as current vdr2divx does. But beside this one should be able to override 
these setting via commandline or via JobQ temporarily (e.g. for one encoding) 
- this was suggested long ago, but with current implementation this is rather 
hard to do... :-( So major restructuring is needed, that's why i think of a 
complete re-write from scratch...

So what's the features of current version ?
see http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/vdr/2002/10-2002/msg00139.html
or search the VDR mail archives for 2divx announcements ;-)

And what's the "new" features of the currently unreleased 1.6.0pre2 ?
+It's able to copy the summary.txt to a name_of_the_destination_avi.txt file 
to preserve the movie information (maybe useful in the future !?)
+Now a pre conversion check of the source is done, to find stream errors and 
invoke PVAstrumento to repair them (very experimental at the moment - not 
sure if i keep this)
+Of course the latest PVAstrumento version is supported (multiple input file 
support, etc.)
+no need to use external muxing tools since latest PVAstrumento is able to 
create PS

Okay, as said above the new rewritten version should feature all things from 
latest 1.6.x version - however if anyone has suggestion for new features or 
ideas, it would be nice to hear from you !
I hope you understand since i'm in my planing state it's rather easy to 
implement new features.... So if you ever had ideas for new features, but 
were afraid to ask, it's the right time *NOW* ;-)

btw: Any ideas about a NEW name for vdr2divx ? Once i "invented" the first 
version, divx was the only codec supported. Today i support divx4/5, xvid and 
libavcodec (ffmpeg) - so vdr2mpeg4 or something might be more convenient ? 
Suggestions also welcome...

However don't be too enthusiastic about the "new" version, it may take quite a 
time ;-)

Looking forward to hear from you,

Martin.
