SIVE is a user-friendly software designed to convert video files to iPod Video format with ease. Its intuitive interface simplifies the process of video conversion, making it accessible to everyone.
SIVE is a graphical tool that simplifies the video conversion process for iPod Video. It is a GTK2 frontend to mplayer, mencoder, and mp4creator. This tool allows easy conversion of your movies so that you can watch them on your iPod without any hassle. SIVE currently works on Unix OSes, including Linux distros. While a Windows porting is not a priority, SIVE still does its job very well.
SIVE can create iPod compliant H.124 videos by using mencoder to encode and mp4creator to create a container that iPod Video can use. It generates options like bitrate, audio track, subtitles, resolution, scale, and crop. Commands and their results are displayed in an embedded terminal so that the user can learn how to use these tools manually. SIVE does not perform any conversion itself; it leaves this complicated task to the tools known for doing the job well.
Users can easily select audio and subtitle tracks with SIVE. It removes the need for end-users to read lengthy documentation and browse man pages to learn how to convert videos. The GUI is presented in a way that is intuitive and easy to follow. This results in a hassle-free conversion process.
SIVE currently supports various input and output formats, including MKV and AVI, with other common formats to be added soon. It also supports multiple subtitle and audio track selection, batch conversion, and desktop integration. The software is available in different languages, including English, French, and Chinese.
To use SIVE, the user must have GTK+ version 2.0.x, libglade, vte, mplayer/mencoder, and mp4creator. The latest release improves on its previous version. It fixed several bugs and added new features to make the software more user-friendly. The default encoding profiles are now fixed, but users can create an unlimited number of profiles, delete them, and change them.
Overall, SIVE is a reliable and straightforward software that makes video conversion for iPod Video real simple. It does not require any prior knowledge regarding command line tools or conversion processes. Its user-friendly interface simplifies the entire process, from input to output.
