BUG FOUND!

There is a bug in this release. The variable for $crop_line is incorrect for the thumbnail generation. Change $cropline to $crop_line at line 1448.

THIS IS NOT FOR NOOBS!

IF YOU DONT KNOW LINUX/UNIX LIKE A PRO, THEN DONT BOTHER.

If VI is your editor of choice then you are not a noob.

If you do know what the hell you are doing, then this is the best there is for this type of application. I have worked hard to make it so.

Next revision will most likely incorporate the features of rip-mkv-audio.pl

Oh this does work on a Mac too, I just posted it in UNIX section this time.

./encode-handheld.pl -h

PSP & iPod h264 video and AAC audio encoder.
PSP Motion JPG encoder.  (22min = 916mb vs 84mb using h264)
PSP 720x480 16:9 & 4:3 encoder.
PSP 640x480 encoder.
Zune 30GB Windows Media 8 A/V encoder.
Cell phone 176x144 encoder.

usage: ./encode-handheld.pl [-hl] [-t psp|psp640|psp720|pspavi|ipod|ipod640|zune|zune30|3g2] [-s XXXXX] [-n title] [-f file]

 -h        : this (help) message
 -v        : displays version
 -a        : hard box the video
             (pillarbox and letterbox the video, AR set to AR of screen size)
 -g        : letterbox video to next macro block height (ex 480x202 -> 480x208)
 -r        : frame rate (24000/1001 or 30000/1001 are suggested override values)
 -l        : legacy psp file naming
 -s XXXXX  : 5 digit legacy numbering sequence
 -f file   : file to encode
 -n title  : psp title displayed when using legacy naming
             or file is renamed to this value (if AtomicParsley then also atom)
 -t type   : psp, ipod, zune, zune30, psp640, 3g2 encoding
 -o num    : volume(gain) 1x=256, 2x=512, 3x=768, 4x=1024 (default: No Change)
 -c num    : thumbnail capture time in seconds (default: 120)
 -z num    : encode time in seconds (default: whole thing)
 -j num    : start encode time in seconds (default: beginning)
 -b        : encode using b frames (psp only) (default: no)
 -p        : 2 pass encoding
 -i        : iPhone & iPod touch PSP compatible profile (switches coder to 0)
 -m num    : ffmpeg threads (example, dual core: -m2, quad core: -m4)
 -x        : when using type psp640 it will put contents in 720x480 container
             WARNING: as of PSP firmware v5.0 it does not respect the 8:9 PAR.
             It will play the video with a 1.5 AR (720/480).
             The effect is your video will play 80 pixels wider than it should be.
                 --  Crop options --
 -T num    : crop top (must be even number)
 -B num    : crop bottom (must be even number)

 -R num    : crop right (must be even number)
                 --  AtomicParsley options --
 -N str    : name (if not specified then -n is used)
           : this option is used for TV shows (-n "Family Guy s07e01" -N "Love Blactually")
           : example with quotes in title (-N "There's No "We" Anymore")
 -k str    : artist (req AtomicParsley and type ipod, psp, 3g2)
 -K num/tot : sets tracknum (auto determined, only pass if you want to do a num/tot with example (-K 01/13)
 -u str    : album (req AtomicParsley and type ipod, psp, 3g2)
 -d str    : description (req AtomicParsley and type ipod, psp, 3g2)

 -e str    : genre (req AtomicParsley and type ipod, psp, 3g2)
 -y value  : year (req AtomicParsley and type ipod, psp, 3g2)
           : pass 4 digits or pass a year string value to encode a Release Date also.
           : see examples below.  (If no value is passed then current year is used.)
 -q str    : US TV & Movie rating (req AtomicParsley and type ipod, psp)
             us-tv: "TV-MA, TV-14, TV-PG, TV-G, TV-Y, TV-Y7"
             mpaa: "UNRATED, NC-17, R, PG-13, PG, G"

note:
If you end your titles for TV Shows with sXXeXX then it will be parsed correctly as a TV Show.
If you end your titles for Music Videos with mvid then it will be parsed correctly as a Music Video.

crop note:
crop is done to the original video prior to encoding.  AR is recalculated on new crop size.

year notes:
If you pass -y XXXX you will get a year timestamp on your MP4 file only.
If you pass -y "string value" you will get a year timetamp and Release Date information on your MP4 file.
All string values are converted to UTC.

Some example valid year strings:
"July 24, 2007 10pm EST"
"Mon Jan 26 12:26:13 EST 2009"
"2009-01-23 21:00:00 EST"
"2009-01-23 9pm EST"
"2009-01-23"
"2009-01-23 EST"
"19 Dec 1994 EST"
"oct 2 1994"
"october 2 1994"
"october 2 1994 EST"
"october 19 EST"
"`date`"
