A FFmpeg/Libav, Mencoder GUI front Open Souce Project MobileMate. It is an open source video and audio converting tool customized on Tinycore Linux, released under GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2).

It use Bash to glue some open source tools such as MPlayer, FFmpeg (Libav), Zenity as GUI, Grep, Sed, etc., easy to modify fit your own needs.

The all detail about it: news, download, installation, using, and devloper's corner, etc., see its website: http://www.learndiary.com/mobilemate/  .

This is an experimental project, it uses TinyCore Linux livecd as a running platform. The goal is finding a way for making open source more useful and how to make money from open source.

We know, Bash is a powerful tool in the Linux world. It is perfect to
perform some special tasks.

But, Linux is used by very few user. Windows users can't enjoy the
convenience of Bash and some powerful Linux command tools.

So, I tried integrating some Bash glued tools into a Linux LiveCD to
perform special task, with total size about 33M.

But, using it also need some Linux skills and it isn't so convenient as
Windows user use windows native programs.

This is a way for making open source and Linux more useful, it is also a
trade-off, and, a question.
