Coolrun

Today, my coolrun script got accepted at SourceForge. This script enables or disables the powersaving features on the AMD Duron/Athlon/Athlon XP or Sempron line of processors. It does that through direct hardware access to the chipset using the setpci utility. A lot of chipsets are supported at the moment, but unfortunately none of the ATi chipsets are supported because there's no public info available on them.

Scripts for DVD encodings

Well, I've been maintaining 2 shell scripts for DVD encodings for some time now and I thought I'll host them on SourceForge. First one is called xvidenc and uses MEncoder to encode a DVD or a video file to the XviD format. The script supports virtually all XviD options of MEncoder and further has support for various audio codecs like MP2, MP3, AC3 and PCM. Other features include support for 10 different software scalers, DVD cropping, DVD deinterlacing, interlaced encodings, DVD denoiser, deblocking/deringing of video files, DVD title inclusion, setting the output FPS, and audio resampling...

Second script is called h264enc and is very similar to xvidenc except it encodes DVDs or video files to the H.264 format again using MEncoder to do the job.

I'm currently waiting for an approval of my third project, coolrun, which is also a shell script that can be used to enable/disable the powersaving features of the AMD Duron/Athlon/Athlon XP or Sempron line of processors. The script supports a lot of chipsets though none of the ATi chipsets are supported at the moment 'cause the bastards at ATi won't release public info of their products
