vfe.sh 3.0

New version of vfe.sh works with ffmpeg v1 and up. Overall the changes to ffmpeg increase the similarity between the ffmpeg and the libav suites, so that makes my life a little easier. I did not try for backward compatibility. If you need to use it with ffmpeg 0.6, then you need to use the 2.0 version. You can get either version from the repo on github:

vfe.sh 1.11

I just pushed a new version of the vfe.sh script to github:

http://github.com/kwiliarty/vfe-sh

This version (1.11) drops the use of ffmpeg2theora. All of the relevant functionality of this utility is available through ffmpeg. For my script the switch has these advantages:

  1. Fewer dependencies
  2. Greater range of input formats now possible
  3. Consistent and predictable handling of anamorphic pixel aspect ratios

Point #2 lets me work more easily with kdenlive, which I have recently begun using for video editing. Point #3 makes it easier to handle input from a wider range of cameras.
