RedKonvert News

Before the converting video option is enabled, I am developing a queue manager for the audio. I will then use this as the video queue manager and enable video conversion.

There is a bug in sox and abiword in the hardy packages. Also, there is one dependency missing from the install file. You must also install the package normalize-audio.

Apparently there is a bug with abiword 2.4.6 in hardy and the new 2.6* packages were rejected from updates in hardy. Anyway, it will cause problems when converting odt to doc and pdf's. To fix this, go here: http://abisource.com/wiki/Install_on_Ubuntu

There are a few tasks/bugs left before RedKonvert will be useful. Currently, there is a bug in handling filenames with spaces, apostrophes and quotes. No artwork has been created for the project yet. Also, the first release will have no progress bar yet. I am still working on the amount of features I want to include with the video encoder.

The audio frontend is a work in progress. I believe the document converter is still working, however I have not set up the document converter to remove invalid filename characters. Once the audio is done, I will move on to the video conversion. Metadata tags for the audio and video are not supported at the moment.

The document converter is currently working. I am part way through the audio conversion. I am not ready to release the code just yet. Once the Video portion is done, then I will release it to the public. If anyone has any questions or suggestions, feel free to send them to me.
