Free metric 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

Perl Audio Converter (PAC) is a tool for converting multiple audio types from one format to another. It supports MP2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Shorten, Monkey Audio, FAAC (AAC/M4A/MP4), Musepack (MPC), Wavpack (WV), OptimFrog (OFR/OFS), TTA, LPAC, Kexis (KXS), AIFF, AC3, Lossless Audio (LA), AU, SND, RAW, VOC, SMP, RealAudio (RA/RAM), WAV, and WMA.
It can also convert audio from the following video formats/extensions: RM, RV, ASF, DivX, MPG, MKV, MPEG, AVI, MOV, OGM, QT, VCD, VOB, and WMV. A CD ripping function with CDDB support, batch and playlist conversion, tag preservation for most supported formats, independent tag reading/writing, and extensions for Konqueror and amaroK is also provided.
Enhancements:
- Added: MP4::Info dependency IO::String to pacpl-install
- Updated: License GPLv3
- Bug Fix: Directory conversions. pacpl was claiming the directory was empty and prompting to use the --recursive option...Thanks to John Meyer for the report.

Perl::Metric::Basic is a Perl module that can provide basic software metrics.

SYNOPSIS

# first construct a PPI::Document object to pass in
my $document = PPI::Document->load("t/lib/Acme.pm");

# then retrieve metrics on the document
my $m = Perl::Metric::Basic->new;
my $metric = $m->measure($document);

# $metric will consist of something like:
# Acme => {
# new => {
# blank_lines => 1,
# comments => 1,
# lines => 7,
# lines_of_code => 6,
# numbers => 0,
# numbers_unique => 0,
# operators => 3,
# operators_unique => 2,
# symbols => 5,
# symbols_unique => 2,
# words => 7,
# words_unique => 6
# },
# ...

When constructing software one often produces code of vastly differing quality. The Perl::Metric::Basic module leverages the PPI module to provide some interesting software metrics for Perl code, mostly measuring size and maintainability.

A metric is some sort of measurement which is intended to help you make a decision about a piece of code. There arent any hard rules about metrics, but the ones provided should allow you to make decisions about modules or subroutines which are outliers. Abnormal measurements in a subroutine are a warning sign that you should reexamine that routine, checking for unusually low quality.

This module uses the PPI module, and thus can parse Perl code without evaluating it.
If youre interested in software metrics, I highly recommend "Code Complete" (Second Edition) by Steve McConnel (Microsoft Press).

METHODS

new()

The new() method is the constructor:
my $m = Perl::Metric::Basic->new;

measure()

The measure() method measures some metrics and returns a hash reference. Files in Perl can contain more than one package, and it is interesting to seperate metrics by package. The key for the hash reference is the name of the package, and the value is another hash reference.

Perl packages are seperated into subroutines, and it is interesting to seperate metrics by subroutine. The key for the second hash reference is the name of the subroutine, and the value is another hash reference containing metrics.

There are various metrics applied to the subroutine. The key for the third hash reference is the name of the metric, and the value is the value of the metric. The metrics are:

blank_lines

The number of blank code lines.

comments

The number of lines containing comments.

lines

The total number of lines.

lines_of_code

The number of lines of code.

numbers

The total number of numbers used (eg "$z = 42 * 3" would have 2 numbers).

numbers_unique

The number of unique numbers used (eg "$z = 2*$x + 2*$y" would have 1 unique number).

operators

The total number of operators used.

operators_unique

The number of unique operators used.

symbols

The total number of symbols used (eg "$z = $x*$x + $y*$y" would have 5 symbols).

symbols_unique

The number of unique symbols used (eg "$z = $x*$x + $y*$y" would have 3 unique symbols).

words

The total number of words (operators) used.

words_unique

The number of unique words used.

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.

BMI Calculator is a simple, easy-to-use BMI calculator. It accepts input in both the English and Metric measuring systems.
BMI Calculator uses an HTML template that can be easily customized. The degree of health risk associated with every calculated BMI is also determined.
Enhancements:
- Fixed the script to work with register_globals = Off
- Stopped returning by reference results in interpret_bmi function
