AVI TV Episode File Resizer script is not for multiple MOVIE files (only TV) however it can do SINGLE MOVIE files quite nicely. The project was designed to help me fit (resize the file) multiple Xvid TV episodes (entire season) on a single DVD. Most of the time a TV series is almost exactly the same hours, mins, secs.

That enables this script to set the video bitrate the same for every file (episode) being processed to get the desired file size. The calculation is based on the hours, mins, seconds and the desired file size you want. If you correctly enter the time you will end up with a file size VERY close to the value you entered. The episodes will likley vary about 10 secs or so. Try to average that out when you select the episode time

The new files will have the EXACT same name as the old files so the input and output cannot be in the same DIRECTORY.

The "input files" selector can select multiple files so you can encode one or many files.

If you select an entire season (about 25 episodes) of files it could take quite a few hours to complete. The progress bar updates AFTER the completion of the first file and after every file there after. The current file being processed is displayed in the bottom status bar.

Transcode single pass is used to REencode the files.

Each file will be REencoded with MP3 audio bitrate of 96 kbps. The video is REencoded with the Xvid4 codec.

I used this script to go from 230MB to 175MB with good results. That saved me almost 1.4G for the season (25 episodes) and let me get it on a single DVD to play on my stand alone player.

You should try it with a single file first to check the quality and then do a batch job.

There are other tools to do this but this one can be setup and going in less than 1 min.

It takes almost 10 hours to do an entire season (25 episodes) at an episode time of 25 min 30 sec with a target file size of 171MB (ends up being about 174.8MB)

KoverArtist is a program for the fast creation of covers for cd/dvd cases and boxes. KoverArtists main idea is to be able to create decent looking covers with some mouseclicks.
The project started from my need for some decent covers for the films I record from television and then often burn on dvd for archiving.
With series I usually start with one or two dvds, and add more as more episodes are available. So the program - KoverArtist - had to be flexible enough to handle that. This also requires changing covers on the fly to use cases that can house more discs.
Enhancements:
- Some layout tweaking to make the main window fit better on a 1024x768 screen (thanks to Agnese Bonetti for reporting).
- Bugfix: Disc #1 tab was not shown on startup when no project was opened.
- Bugfix: koverartist crashed when ~/.cddb did not exist upon audio-cd import (thanks to Audidriver for reporting).
- Corrections in German translation.
- Added support for KinoArtist projects (KinoArtist is not released yet).
- When importing a disc and the project title or snapshots are not set, the disc settings are then used (like when opening a KMediaFactory project as a project).
- Added support for automake 2.6.x

fortune-xfiles project consists of various quotes from the X-Files TV episodes for the fortune program.

To install these fortunes, copy the .dat file to your fortunes directory (possibly /usr/games/lib/fortunes).

To use it, simply type:

# fortune xfiles

Example:

Mulder: You know, I always wanted a peg-leg. It was a boyhood
thing I never grew out of.

"The X-Files: Quagmire"

fortune-starwars project is a collection of mod-fortune quotes from Star Wars.

fortune-starwars is a collection of quotes from the movies "Star Wars", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Return Of The Jedi".

It does not contain quotes from Episodes One to Three, because I don’t really like them.

It is meant for use with the fortune program.

To install these fortunes, copy the .dat file to your fortunes directory (possibly /usr/games/lib/fortunes).

To use it, simply type:

# fortune starwars

Videotrans is a set of scripts that convert a movie file in any format that mplayer understands to a DVD-compatible VOB file, doing all the necessary conversions automatically. Videotrans provides an automatic DVD menu generator.
Videotrans has the following programs available:
movie-to-dvd
The movie-to-dvd program takes one or more input files and converts them into a separate MPEG2 video stream and a separate MP2 or AC3 audio stream.
This program takes care of all the necessary conversions, such as framerate adjustment, audio adjustment, zooming/shrinking for DVD frame sizes, etcetera. The program can determine which conversions are necessary on its own, no user intervention is required (but of course, it is possible).
When making a DVD, youll first convert all the movies that you want to put on the DVD into the MPEG2 video and MP2 or AC3 audio streams. Later, youll combine these with the movie-title program into a complete DVD.
movie-title
The movie-title program takes one or more video files that were converted by the movie-to-dvd program and a special title sequence that was produced by movie-make-title and combines all of these into a menu from which the viewer of the DVD can choose which movie he or she wants to watch.
The menu is created by displaying the title sequence in the background, with animated picture-in-picture versions of all the movies on top of that. The creator has the option of supplying information about the movies. This information can be viewed from the menu as well, on a movie-per-movie basis.
The program also generates an XML file for use with dvdauthor, the program that is used to actually create the DVD image that you will burn onto a DVD disc. The program tells you how to run dvdauthor to do the processing for you.
movie-make-title
The movie-make-title program is used to create a background movie and an audio track for DVD menus.
The movie-make-title program takes a single movie and cuts a specified part of out it. It then converts this piece of the movie into separate frames and saves the audio track in a WAV file for you.
Youll have to manually view all the frames and throw away those that you do not want in the title sequence of your DVD (the first few frames and the last few frames). Its not possible to automatically cut out the piece of the movie that you want exactly. I recommend xv for this purpose, although any image viewer that understands JPEG picture files will do.
Also, youll have to process the WAV audio file by hand, to cut out exactly that audio track that you want to hear when the menu is displayed. The movie-title program will make sure that the audio track lasts exactly as long as the movie part that you cut out does. This is to compensate for possible changes in the video frame rate and to correct small mistakes. I personally find sweep a very useful graphical audio processor for this purpose. Sweep can be downloaded at http://sweep.sourceforge.net/.
movie-rip-tv.com
The movie-rip-tv.com program is a convenience program that I personally use to gather interesting information about TV series. Given the name of a series (such as Star Trek Enterprise), a season number and an episode number, this program will create an information file in the correct format for use with the movie-title program. The movie-title program will then be able to display the episodes name in the menu and provide an information button which leads to the generated information (such as the director, the guest stars list, the description of the particular episode, etcetera).
movie-compare-dvd
The movie-compare-dvd program can be used after burning a DVD image to a DVD disc to verify whether all the data was written onto the disc intact. The program takes the on-filesytem copy and the on-DVD copy and compares the checksums of the files on both to find any differences.
Usage:
If you want to start quickly with these programs, and you have a couple of movies that you want to put onto a DVD, try this (assuming that your TV standard is PAL, otherwise specify ntsc instead of pal everywhere that its used):
movie-to-dvd -m pal movie1.avi movie2.avi movie3.avi
movie-make-title -o title -m pal -s 0 -e 60 -m pal movie1.avi
movie-title -o title.vob -t title movie1.m2v movie2.m2v movie3.m2v
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory -x title.vob-dvdauthor.xml
a_command_to_burn_a_dvd_from dvd_directory
In case you dont want a selection menu, you may also try:
movie-to-dvd -m pal -M movie1.avi movie2.avi movie3.avi
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory movie1.vob
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory movie2.vob
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory movie3.vob
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory -T
a_command_to_burn_a_dvd_from dvd_directory
In this case, youll have to use the DVD players navigation controls to get to the various movies on the DVD.
Enhancements:
- All sorts of clean-up was done.
- Some long-waiting feature requests have been implemented.
- In general, the program should work on more systems now.

Quotable Homer quotes project consists of Homer Simpson quotes for `fortune`.
In 1999, Fox published a one-a-day calendar of Homer Simpson quotes. On the back of each page was the name of the episode from the quote came, providing us fanatics with some fun trivia.
At some point, I decided that itd be nice to have all of those quotes in a file parsable by `fortune`. So, you get what we have here.
Installing:
Simply place the files `homer and `homer.dat into same the directory as the other fortune files.
Usually, this is (on GNU/Linux) `/usr/share/games/fortunes.
If, for some reason, youd rather not get homer quotes, simply delete the file `homer.dat.
At any later date, you may run `strfile homer` and the .dat file will be recreated. Could it be any easier?
Enhancements:
- this is now released under a license.
