free tools to easily make mp4 files under Linux

mp4tools are a set of scripts to encode Audio and Video in Isomedia (aka MP4) format
mp4tools uses opensources programs as backends like mencoder, MP4Box, xvid, x264
and its quality is very good.
There are presets for most common devices like Sony PSP, Apple iPod, Nokia S60 phones,
so you haven't to go in the jungle of encoding options, firmware bugs, unsupported configurations
common in all embedded devices.
mp4tools hot functions are:

• support for embedded devices
• direct rip from DVD
• autocrop of black borders to have a bigger visual
• audio peak normalization to make audio sound louder, useful on devices with poor speakers

mp4tools quality is good since it uses x264 (the best h.264 encoder ever) or
xvid (the best mpeg4 encoder ever).
Here there are some video samples, so you can have a look before installing
It's the Ocean's 13 official trailer (resolutions are the ones before autocropping)

• PC, Max quality (800x600@400kbps) 7.8 MB Download
• iPod (320x240@160kbps) 3.6 MB View Download
• PSP (480x272@200kbps) 4.4 MB View Download
• 3gp (176x144@80kbps) 1.6 MB Download
• Nokia S60 (320x240@160kbps) 3.2 MB Download

And this is a song encoded with aacplusenc at a very low bitrate

• HE-AAC+v2 (44100Hz Stereo@32kbps) 1.1 MB

mp4tools consist of 3 archives which can be downloaded separately:

• The shell scripts: mp4tools_0.6.8.tar.gz
• aacplusenc, the AAC+ encoder: aacplusenc_0.17.5.tar.gz
• amrenc, the AMR encoder: amrenc_0.5.3.tar.gz
  

Extract all the archives and run in each subdir
make install
Read the mp4tools README to know about dependencies you have to met

There are Ubuntu packages for all the above tools, you just have to use this repository by
either editing /etc/apt/sources.list by hand or adding it to Synaptic or Adept

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/teknoraver/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/teknoraver/ubuntu maverick main

and then run:

apt-get install mp4tools

After installing you will have two type of scripts, some named mk* and other named dvd2*
For example, mkipod encodes a video file to the ipod format, while dvd2ipod rips a DVD into the same format
The included scripts are:

Additionally, there are amrenc and aacplusenc, which respectively encodes to AMR and AAC+

If you use mp4tools to encode songs to listen them in a Nokia phone
you will notice that you will not be able to tag your encoded files.
This because Nokia uses a non standard tag system.
Fortunately I made my own tool to tag them, so feel free to use it.
Download it: nokiatagger.c
and compile it in the usual way:
gcc nokiatagger.c -o nokiatagger

Currently I have Windows binary only for the HE-AAC+ encoder,
Download it here: aacplusenc.exe

Currently I have Mac OS X binary only for the HE-AAC+ encoder,
Download it here: aacplusenc
