Sure is, ffmpeg and mencoder are two most used video converter[1]. And since they are based on command-line that means your python program only need to use the subprocess module to control them (in fact, many free and paid video encoder/converter is merely a GUI for ffmpeg or mencoder or both). [1] The term "converter" is an understatement compared to what they can do [2] ffmpeg's page: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ [3] mencoder's page: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
