BiaMovE (pronounced by-a-movie) is an advanced mencoder GUI I've written in Python and Tkinter. Features include:

• Configuration for popularly used audio and video codecs (e.g. LAVC, x364, xvid, mp3lame, twolame etc.)
• Save/load profiles. You can create a specific profile for encoding different types of videos.
• A dialog box for common video filters - crop, scale, expand etc.
• Other advanced mencoder options not found in other video encoding GUIs.

What BiaMovE doesn't do:

• Detect mencoder/codecs installed on your system. You need mencoder installed with specific codecs you need for it to work.
• Advanced error checking. Be aware that Mencoder is a complex video encoding software and supports hundreds of options. Using certain combination of options/codecs might produce invalid, incompatible video formats. BiaMovE just passes your choices to the Mencoder command line and doesn't do much more than that.
