ktranscode is a <a href=\"www.kde.org\">KDE</a> interface to the video 
processing tool <a 
href=\"http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~ostreich/transcode/\";>transcode</a>,
 but not limited to that encoding/recoding tool.
 
Capturing video in Linux is not impossible and with the correct configuration 
of the kernel, is even very efficient (<a 
href=\"http://www.thedirks.org/v4l2/\";>v4l2</a>,<a 
href=\"http://bytesex.org/bttv/\";>bttv<a>). While there is  a lot of work to be 
done in that area (quite a number of patches are needed), our focus is in the 
transformation of the captured data.
 
 It is our intent to write a decent <a href=\"www.kde.org\">KDE</a> interface 
(why <a href=\"www.kde.org\">KDE</a> and not <a 
href=\"www.gnome.org\">Gnome</a>? hey, <a 
href=\"http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2002-February/msg00015.html\";>RMS
 indicated that they should move towards each other</a>) for encoding/recoding 
video data. In an ideal version, it will be equiped with wizards that let every 
run of the mill user that got his bt8x8 tv card installed and his system 
configured, create (VCD-)MPEG and DIVX video clips (to name the most known 
codecs).
As any decent *n*x tool, <a 
href=\"http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~ostreich/transcode/\";>transcode</a>is
 equiped with quite a number of  options that govern it\'s behaviour. Our tool 
will not compile the engine of transcode in the application/library, but will 
be dependent on it, leaving the road free for the improvements <a 
href=\"http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~ostreich/transcode/\";>transcode</a>is
 undergoing...
