encode-handheld.pl v3.5 for Linux and Mac OS

My latest version of encode-handheld.pl.



New stuff:



* Using jhead to remove comment from PSP thumbnail, thereby creating a proper JPEG header.



* Added support for adding unique title atom to videos other than just the file name.

so now you can do -n "Family Guy s07e01" -N "Love Blactually".

That will set the file name to "Family Guy s07e01.m4v" and the title to "Love Blactually".



* Added track support for TV Shows. This will be auto populated if you use naming structure

of "TV Show s01e01". If you want a num/tot then pass 01/13 for example.



* Added support for Release Date using year. Can now pass a year string and now Release

Date will be filled. Look at examples in encode-handheld.pl -h



* If creating TV show, now Album and Artist will be filled out automatically.

Album will be "TV Show, Season #". Artist is a copy of TV Show.





Change:



* The default year value is now current year and not 2009.

note:

If you end your titles for TV Shows with sXXeXX then it will be parsed correctly as a TV Show.

If you end your titles for Music Videos with mvid then it will be parsed correctly as a Music Video.



crop note:

crop is done to the original video prior to encoding. AR is recalculated on new crop size.



year notes:

If you pass -y XXXX you will get a year timestamp on your MP4 file only.

If you pass -y "string value" you will get a year timetamp and Release Date information on your MP4 file.

All string values are converted to UTC.



Some example valid year strings:

"July 24, 2007 10pm EST"

"Mon Jan 26 12:26:13 EST 2009"

"2009-01-23 21:00:00 EST"

"19 Dec 1994 EST"

"oct 2 1994"

"october 2 1994"

"october 2 1994 EST"

"october 19 EST"
