It's been a while since I posted my first encoding video for the Zaurus script, so here's an updated Version 2 of it. Enjoy.

Please post any suggestions for improvements. I'm still learning how to write bash scripts, so there's bound to be room for improvement. Version 3 will allow for encoding multiple files.

Edit notes: *shudder* The above is version 2, that is more of a proof of concept. I'm posting version 4.0 below for a side by side comparison. Many new features have been added in version 4.0 as well as a great number of simplifications.
i) Script is easier to run. Install it as vrecoder to /usr/local/bin then run `vrecoder -i AVI_File'
ii) All options have been added as switches. See `vrecoder -h' for the details.
iii) The `-a' switch attempts to resize your video keeping the correct aspect ratio.
iv) `-s' uses an experimental smartcoder that will encode every AVI file in the current directory.

vrecoder: Video Encoding for Sharp Zaurus Playback
Usage: vrecoder [-h] [-a] [-s] [-i infile] [-o outfile]
[-x size] [-y size] [-b bitrate]
-h, Display this help menu
-a, Auto calculate resized video resolution
-s, Use smartcoder
-i, Input File
-o, Output File
-x, Change width
-b, Change bitrate. 300 default, 6000 would be smooth
-y, Change height
--quick No confirms, jump to encoding.
:: Encoders ::
vrecoder: Default encoder. Works on a signle input file.
smartcoder: Experimental encoder. Atempts to encode every AVI file in the
current directory.
:: Notes ::
[-a] depends on awk >= 3.1.5, file >= 4.3.0, grep >= 2.5.1.
Use at your own risk.
[-s] depends on file >= 4.18, find >= 4.3.0.
Use at your own risk.

Todo:
Fix script so everything will work on complex file names as well as normal file names.
Have script work on each file on the command line, not just the one file included with the `-i' switch.
Replace experimental code with real portable code.
Rewrite the entire script in x86 ASM using mencoder shared libraries. (Yeah right. ;-) )
