Description:
 KmPg2 is a user friendly MPEG2 encoding wizard
that allows the user to create high quality DVD
compatible MPEG2 streams, without requiring any
technical knowledge.

Creating high quality MPEG2 streams involves a lot
more than simply feeding the input video to
mpeg2enc/transcode/mencoder/etc. The input video
needs to be carefully prepared by pulling it
through a chain of stream processing tools like
low-pass filters, color correction filters, static
and dynamic chroma and luma noise filters,
scalers, and so on. This processing chain needs to
be tuned in such a way that all irrelevant data
(like noise) is removed before the video enters
the encoder. KmPg2 uses the video processing /
encoding tools from the MJPEGTools project to
achieve this.

KmPg2 features a 'profiler' that enables the user
to interactively create custom pre-processing
pipelines that are optimised for a specific type
of video material. These preprocessing pipelines
(profiles) can be stored and used with the actual
encoding wizard. For example, you could create a
profile that is designed especially for restoring
a single aging VHS tape, or you could create a
profile tuned for your digital camcorder and
re-use it for every new recording that needs to be
encoded.

KmPg2 version 1.90 can read any video file that
your FFMPEG version can read. In most cases, this
means that it can convert almost anything to DVD
compatible MPEG2.

* Automatic conversion between NTSC and PAL
formats
* Seperate chroma/luma noise filtering
* Low-Pass filtering support
* Contrast/Brightness/Saturation correction
* White balance correction
* Special black-and-white mode
* Crop image to Widescreen (16:9) or Panavision
(2.35:1)
* Output conforms to Rec.601 specifications
* Both constant bitrate and variable bitrate
encoding
* Unsharp masking
* Correct treatment of both progressive and
interlaced input video
* Support for removing overscan areas
* Provides feedback to user about average/peak
bitrates
* Show output on screen while encoding
* Generate encoding shell scripts

source video

Requirements:

* Kommander >= 1.0 (part of kdewebdev >= 3.3.0)
* FFMPEG
