Everything was tested to be easy to use (finally, after installation). If You have any problems with it, just let me know - I'll try to help as far as I can.
INSTALLATION:
Just download "avi2mov" script, and save it in /usr/sbin/ directory (You can save it in any directory, but take care later, because i assume, you've saved it in /usr/sbin/
).After this, You need to set proper permissions, so use chmod:
chmod +x /usr/sbin/avi2mov
Finally, You need to add this converter to Service Menu. Create file
/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/convert-avi-to-mov.desktop
with Kate for example, and copy and paste this code:
[Desktop Action MediaConvertFile]
Exec=/usr/sbin/avi2mov %U
Icon=reload
Name=Convert selected file to mov ...
[Desktop Entry]
Actions=MediaConvertFile
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=reload
ServiceTypes=video/*
ExcludeServiceTypes=kdedevice
And that's all!

what change am I need to fix the script to make it work with mencoder not ffmpeg ?? .. just simple convert to AVI for example. thanks,
mp4 is indeed also a video format. ipod videos use them and so do PSPs
mp4 is also an audio-only format.
You're absolutely right. But after all, this script works, i've just made a mistake, because mainly i've used it to convert files to mov format, not to mp4, and i haven't done extracting an audio from movie to mp4 yet.
