.TH GMENCODER 1

.SH NAME
gmencoder \- GNOME 2 front-end for MPlayer/mencoder

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B gmencoder
is a program that let you easily encode audio/video streams using
MPlayer/mencoder. It supports much of the output codecs as well
as postprocessing, cropping, scale, subtitles ripping, 1 to 3 passes
for encoding and a lot of more options are planned.

.SH CONFIGURATION
It is important that MPlayer has a good configuration. You have 
to have a configuration file that allow mplayer to run without parameters 
but the data source.
.PP
.B DO NOT PUT 
the line "gui=yes" in your MPlayer's configuration file. 
.B gmencoder 
does not work if MPlayer starts up with gui by default. 
.PP
There are two combos (scale algorithms and post-processing options) that 
are filled from a configuration file. If this configuration file is not 
in the correct directory, combos will be empty. The file is 
.B gmencoder_opts 
and has to be put in /etc/gmencoder_opts or in $HOME/.gemencoder_opts. 


.SH USAGE
Because it is a GUI program, it 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 being pressed, the 
.B "Analyze File" 
and 
.B "Analyze DVD" 
buttons are 
not mouse-sensitive.
