Keep your Movies, TV Shows organized and convert any type of video for you PSP, iPod, website (Flash), Xvid, H.264 and soon 3GPP The program is a Movie Library application (such as iTunes but for videos only) which has a link to an online database of Movies and TV Shows info to retrieve the info automatically when you import your files. A built in set of tools provided by (mencoder,ffmpeg..) enable the user to easily convert DVDs or almost any video to Xvid, H.264, PSP, iPod Flash and soon 3GPP (for mobile phones).
There is also a merge tool to merge multiple avi files with the same dimensions together and an audio amplifying tool for avi and mp4 (video codec H.264 only). Movie Library ++ includes a bitrate calculator to help you manage filesizes and bitrates of output videos.
Here are some key features of "Movie Library ++":
Importing videos into library with drag and drop. (If your firewall asks, allow the connection or it will block on import as I have not put a time out on the connection yet and the default on is pretty slow.
Updating film information from our online database. (film database very limited for the moment)
Converting videos to iPod (mp4) format (16:9 and 4:3 and auto detection profile. Tested on iPod Video 5G, compatible with itunes and quicktime).
Converting videos to PSP (mp4) format (16:9 and 4:3 and auto detection profile. Tested with firmware 3.11, compatible with itunes and quicktime).
Converting videos to H.264 (mp4) and Xvid (avi) format (DVD quality for archiving videos to hard disk).
The H.254 profile is very high quality and will take much longer than Xvid but I believe the quality is much better and worth the extra time (H.264 profiles now compatible with quicktime).
Cropping and appropriate scaling has been implemented in this version.
Multi threaded support. For faster encoding multiple threads can be used if you have a dual or quad core processors (e.g. core 2 duo, AMD X2...), by default the program will check what CPU you have and input the number of cores automatically but you can change it manually if you go to Tools-->Preferences and input the number of cores you have then close the preferences window. (Warning!! the default number should be correct and if you change the input to more cores than you actually have encoding will be slower and your computer might become unstable).
Added a function to do a batch list for encoding, which means you can add many videos into a list then let the computer convert the whole list without needing you to do anything. All the in the list will be converted with the same profile (same settings) but don't worry the cropping and scaling and detected automatically for each video.
Muxing from avi(H.264 + aac) to mp4 (H.264 + aac).
Save tags to mp4 metadata for reading with iTunes or FrontRow or any software that can read metadata from mp4 files.
Custom Xvid and H.264 profiles added so now you can play with the encoding settings yourself.
Column widths within the library now saved in preferences so you don't have to keep resizing them.
Bitrate calculator created to help you work out the bitrate to obtain a required filesize or give you an indication of the filesize for a given bitrate.(The calculator only looks at the video part of the file and not audio). You can find the calculator in the "Tools" menu or on the Custom Xvid and H.264 profiles settings windows.
AVI merge tool which enable you to merge avi files into one. The file need to have the same dimensions and bitrate to make sure the merge is done properly.
Inverse telecine and deinterlace filters available to select from the profile choices window. Inverse telecine to use on films where you can see some strange lines in areas of motion. On interlaced videos use the medium or simple deinterlace filters, full deinterlace present for completeness only but is extremely slow (1FPS which means somwthing stupid 30hours to convert 2hours of video).
Hard coding of subtitles into the video now possible, option available through the profile choices window. When hard coding subtitles if you don't want sync problems tick the raw transcode box. The subtitles need to be text format, graphical format will not work.
05-10-07 Audio amplifying tool to increase the volume of video file with format avi or mp4 (video codec h.264 only)
Converting any videos to FLV format (Flash video) to stream on your website for example.
