[Request] thin liquid film (ipod video converter)

http://thinliquidfilm.org/

thin liquid film (TLF) is an application which allows linux users to quickly and easily convert video files into a format suitable for playing on the video capable ipods. I wrote this application, after purchasing a video ipod, and being frustrated that the only real option for converting video was either via command-line, or via a servicemenu with no ability to configure the resulting video file. TLF uses the ffmpeg engine to do the encoding. It is written in pyqt, so it should work with a default kde installation, and is very easy to install.

features ...

    *  Batch process any number of files;
    * Display detailed information about source video files;
    * Change output settings for one or many files;
    * Save default settings for future sessions;
    * Configure output quality settings;
    * Choose between mpeg4 and h264 as output codec;
    * Choose between 320 and 640 output video width, while maintaining aspect ratio;
    * Choose between 1 or 2 pass encoding;
    * Show a preview the encoded video;
    * Progress bar to show encoding progress;
    * Add pre-encoded files for transfer to the ipod;
    * Uses ffmpeg as the encoding engine;
    * Upload encoded files to your ipod directly;
    * Set file information for upload to your ipod;
    * Add files to existing or new video playlists on your ipod;
    * Add files for encoding via the included servicemenu;

What about adding it in the AUR?
I think it could be really usefull

Looks like thinliquidfilm uses QT3, so you'll need the "qt3" and "pyqt3" packages installed for it to work.
