Free xmovie software for linux

DivXripper converts MPEG1/2 files to AVI format with the DivX low motion codec. It also understands ifo files from DVDs, and has a very simple player.
To build this program i have taken ideas and some code from various programs: xmovie, vcr and specially mpeg2divx. Thanx to all of you !!
I started this project when i tested mpeg2divx and it lacked some features i wanted. Now it has these features, but meanwhile i have had some fun coding my program.
Tips for usage:
Execute program with no arguments to get full usage instructions The input file can be any MPEG1/2 file or also the typical vts_01_0.ifo file. In the latter case, the program will convert all the VOBs in a DVD movie.
One of the main features of this release is the cropping code. The cropping can be done with two different ways:
Cropping based on a ratio between width and heighti (-R command line
argument). Several DVDs show in the back cover two different aspect ratios of
the film, usually 16:9 and 2.35:1. The first ratio is the standard one, but
the second tells the real size of the film, after removing the two black bars.
Cropping a number of output lines (-l command line argument). This is the
failsafe method when we dont have enough information to use the above method.
The number of lines to crop can be calculated with ther trial-and-error method
using the player mode (its the only decent use it has)
The other new (and very cool) features are the automatically calculation of:
The bitrate to fit the film in a 700MB CD.
The correction factor of the audio volume.
Using any of this two features requires a previous pass decoding the film audio.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bug on mono audio
- Fixed wrong calculation of audio buffer size
