I have created packages (regular and nightly releases) in the AUR for a new program called Arista.
http://programmer-art.org/projects/arista-transcoder
An easy to use multimedia transcoder for the GNOME Desktop. Arista focuses on being easy to use by making the complex task of encoding for various devices simple. Pick your input, pick your target device, choose a file to save to and go.
Arista has been in development since early 2008 as a side project and was just recently polished to make it release-worthy. The 0.8 release is the first public release and includes a to-do of items that will be completed for the 1.0 final release.
Features* Presets for iPod, computer, DVD player, PSP, and more
* Live preview to see encoded quality
* Automatically discover available DVD drives and media
* Rip straight from DVD media easily (requires libdvdcss)
* Simple terminal client for scriptingRequirements
Arista is written in Python and requires the bindings for GTK+ 2.16 or newer, GStreamer, GConf, GObject, Cairo, and DBus. If you are an Ubuntu user this means you need to be using at least Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). The GStreamer plugins required depend on the presets available, but at this time you should have gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-ugly, and gst-ffmpeg. If you are on Ubuntu don't forget to install the multiverse packages.
DevelopmentAll development will happen on Launchpad, which provides bug tracking, distributed version control, milestone / roadmap planning and tracking, a forum and translation utilities.
EDIT: I guess I should add AUR links =-)

Nice... Binary of the nightly available for x86_64 on my repo for the lazy ones

I also replaced the "python-gconf" dependency with "gnome-python" as python-gconf conflicts with gnome-python which is required by several other packages I have installed.

Looks good. I think I will give this a spin (ogmrip just does not cut it...)

I replaced the gnome-python dependency in both PKGBUILDS. I wasn't sure which one I'd need, but it looks like I originally picked the wrong one!
Is libdvdcss a required or optional dependency?

Is libdvdcss a required or optional dependency?
I'd say yes, since it is optional (only if you want to transcode from DVD)

"Yes" is a strange answer to an "Or" question
He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.

Whoops, I mis-read....
I'd say an optional dependancy since some users won't have a DVD drive hence won't be able to rip from DVD.

I've updated the PKGBUILDs to reflect the optional dependencies...

looks promising, lets see if it delivers

Hey, feel free to submit bugs/fixes and the audio/video settings for various devices! Dan could also use some testers for target devices -- I believe that he's currently looking for someone who can test the Playstation 3 output.

I tried arista before 2 months in arch linux and now with manjaro and doesn't convert anything. The program starts fine, let you choose the file for conversion, preset etc, but when push "Create" it just do nothing.
I get the following output when running from terminal:
arista-gtk

Has anyone else using arista? Do you have this problem?

First, Manjaro is not Arch, please ask on the Majaro forums. Second, please leave the dead to rest in peace.
Closing.
