It's been 9 years... Support for KDE4 (legacy) has been moved to the kde4 branch. The master branch of this repository now supports KDE5/6 (KDE Frameworks 5.x and 6.x). Also mplayer usage has been removed in favor of ffmpeg

Description

The Media Tool Menu (MTM) KDE service menus is a bunch of KDE service menus that integrates into konqueror, dolphin or any other software that utilitize KDE service menus.

The tool scripts can convert to and from various audio formats as well as dump audio from .flv videos The service menus are using shell scripts and common audio and video commandline tools to do all the hard work.

The scripts can (hopefully) easily be extended to more conversions between formats.

In order to have the menus working correctly you should have this commandline software installed on your system:

As a minimum:

• kdialog
• ffmpeg
• lame
• oggenc

For extra convenience and slickness:

• id3v2
• vorbiscomment
• metaflac
• faad
