Free conversions software for linux

MOV, MP4 conversion service is final and working version of my script, which I use to convert files supported by ffmpeg to MOV / MP4 format, supported by my iPod Video G5.

Everything was tested to be easy to use (finally, after installation). If You have any problems with it, just let me know - Ill try to help as far as I can.

INSTALLATION:

Just download "avi2mov" script, and save it in /usr/sbin/ directory (You can save it in any directory, but take care later, because i assume, youve saved it in /usr/sbin/ :) ).

After this, You need to set proper permissions, so use chmod:

chmod +x /usr/sbin/avi2mov

Finally, You need to add this converter to Service Menu. Create file

/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/convert-avi-to-mov.desktop

with Kate for example, and copy and paste this code:

[Desktop Action MediaConvertFile]
Exec=/usr/sbin/avi2mov %U
Icon=reload
Name=Convert selected file to mov / mp4 ...
[Desktop Entry]
Actions=MediaConvertFile
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=reload
ServiceTypes=video/*
ExcludeServiceTypes=kdedevice

Iris is a video conversion utility in C++ that works as a front-end to mencoder. Iris Video Conversion Utility can run in command-line or graphical modes and currently supports conversion to DVD MPEG, DivX AVI and VCD MPEG
This software intends to ease video conversion to common formats.
Help Wanted / TODO
- Cancel button does not always work
- More output formats
- Reset values for command-line format paramater
- re-work stderr redirection
- catch and identify mencoder conditions

ConvertAll allows you to combine the units any way you want. If you want to convert from inches per decade, thats fine.
Or from meter-pounds. Or from cubic nautical miles. The units dont have to make sense to anyone else.

Main features:
- The base units for conversion may be either typed (with auto-completion) or selected from a list.
- Units may be selected using either an abbreviation or a full name.
- Units may be combined with the "*" and "/" operators.
- Units may be raised to powers with the "^" operator.
- Units with non-linear scales, such as temperature, can also be converted.
- A unit list may be filtered and searched
- Numbers may be entered on either the "From" or the "To" units side, for conversions in both directions.
- Basic mathematical expressions may be entered in place of numbers.
- Options control the formatting of numerical results.
- The unit data includes over 400 units.
- The format of the unit data file makes it easy to add additional units.

Doc::Perlish is a Perl module that contains Perl Documentation Tools.
SYNOPSIS
my $doc = Doc::Perlish->new( type => "POD", input => "source.pod" );
# simple conversions;
my $html = $doc->to_html;
# DOM-style interface; see Doc::Perlish::DOM for more;
my $dom = $doc->to_dom;
# event-style interface;
my $filter = Doc::Perlish::Filter->new();
$doc->add_filter($filter);
my $writer = Doc::Perlish::Writer::XML->new( output => "out.xml" );
$doc->final_sender->receiver($writer);
# run conversion!
$doc->send_all;
Doc::Perlish is a set of tools that define and work with the Perldoc Information Model. The tools will eventally provide parsers for various Doc::Perlish Dialects (including Pod and Kwid), and formatters for various output formats.
The Doc::Perlish class, on the other hand, is an object which simultaneously can behave like a:
- Doc::Perlish::Reader - it can, minimally, be passed a specification of a stream source to read and pass you pack characters or blocks or whatever.
- Doc::Perlish::Parser - it can also perform the task of converting said characters or blocks into a parsed tree, which might involve loading a seperate dialect parser, or any of the other weird and wonderful things that Doc::Perlish::Parser is capable of.
- Doc::Perlish::DOM - you can call all of the parsed-state DOM methods on it, and it will parse the entire document and then call the method
- Doc::Perlish::Sender - you can get Perldoc serial events out of a Doc::Perlish object, before or after parsing!
- Doc::Perlish::Receiver - you can use the Perldoc object as a target for events, and let it pass them through to a destination and/or build a DOM tree.
For more details about what each component involves, and the calling convention, see the relevant documentation for the module.

cvs2svn is a Python script that converts a CVS repository to a Subversion repository. The project is designed for one-time conversions, not for repeated synchronizations between CVS and Subversion.
Enhancements:
- The conversion is now driven explicitly by the CVS dependency graph, giving a more robust conversion and fixing a few subtle bugs that existed in prior releases.
- A new --use-internal-co option has been added.
- It accelerates conversions significantly by avoiding having to use CVS or RCS to extract revision contents.
- Numerous other improvements to the quality of conversion, new conversion options, and bugfixes have been implemented.

Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. Ecasound project can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording, and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling.
It supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs, and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console-mode user interface is included in the package.
Enhancements:
- The ability to specify a custom configuration resource file has been added.
- Several long-standing bugs have been fixed.
- The licensing of rubyecasound has been changed.
