Description:
 thin liquid film (TLF) is an application which
allows linux users to quickly and easily convert
video files into a format suitable for playing on
the video capable ipods. I wrote this application,
after purchasing a video ipod, and being
frustrated that the only real option for
converting video was either via command-line, or
via a servicemenu with no ability to configure the
resulting video file. TLF uses the ffmpeg engine
to do the encoding. It is written in pyqt, so it
should work with a default kde installation, and
is very easy to install.
