mtvcgui

mtvcgui is a very simple graphical user interface (GUI) for mencoder, that acts as TV capture software. It is written in Python with qt4 libraries, using qtdesigner and PyQt4.

It allows the user to specify various parameters for the mencoder command line utility using separate widgets, but non covered parameters can still be supplied as extra parameters.

Recommended settings:
    Audio codec: mp3lame
    Video codec: lavc with mpeg4
    TV Filters:
        pp=hb/vb/dr/al/lb
        this will do deinterlacing and some other nice stuff
