I seem to be missing some apt sources as I can't find mpeg2video and lame-extras. Could you tell me what sources you have added? Also are you using Hardy or Intrepid?

[BoomSchtick]

Awesome... thanks so much...

This was EXACTLY what I needed and the script made it easy as could be!

Awesome, I came across a how2 with the same steps as your script in it, but this is a beautiful example of script writing, quick, clean and no fuss, I use many tools day in, day out but rarely put them into scripts such as this, time to take another look at my dailies and start scripting!

Might be worth pointing out the 'Aspect options' such as not adding an aspect leaves the video in its original aspect etc, and also the video format, you use ntsc-dvd whereas UK use pal-dvd, pointing out options would really help others that haven't much of an idea about formats etc.

All meant as constructive comments, this is a fantastic how to, and I'm really glad to have stumbled across it.

Wow. That is what I was looking for, all in a nutshell. Thank you very much. Now using Katya via Linux Mint 11 (Ubuntu 11.04 base), but already had all the necessary programs installed.
