gmencoder

Gmencoder is a GNOME 2 frontend to mencoder. It support much of the output codecs as well as postprocesing, cropping, scale, subtitles ripping, 1, 2 and 3 passes for encoding and a lot of more options are planned.

It is only tested in Linux but it should run in other Unixes. Feedback is welcomed!

Because it is a GUI program is very easy to use. The only thing that you must know is: you have to analyze the source before to be able to fill the scale, cropping, subtitle or post-processing options. Before pressing "Analyze File" or "Analyze DVD" they are not sensible to the mouse.
