Requirements:

----------------------------------------

The install script will create a directory under
your home directory called .convert_2_mp4

The scripts and icon files will be kept there.

The *.desktop file will be in the standard KDE
konqueror service menu directory.
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus

For the install script to execute correctly you
must be in a terminal and in the dir that it is
extracted to when you execute it.

Do not use the mouse (click) to execute the
install script.

Type \"sh convert_install\" without the quotes

To use the konqueror service menu right click on a
video file and select Convert 2 MP4.
The file will automatically be converted to the
selected format in the same dir it was started in.
The resulting file will have the original name
along with the codec, format and an .mp4
extension.

Batch convert:
You can select and convert more that one file at a
time but it will take a very long time ( make sure
they are of the same format 16:9, 4:3, 2.35:1 ).

Xvid is much quicker than h264.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Other information:

The service menu selections are broken down in the
following format.
