DPG Converter for linux

FAQ:
Q: how do i keep aspect ratio for 16:9 movies?
A: add --height 144 

This is a converter to produce DPG movies for Moonshell software for Nintendo DS.

You can specify different parameters for encoding.
Also you can embed subtitles into output video.

Script uses mencoder and mplayer for transcoding so, obviously, you must have them installed.
As of version 0.4 DPGconv uses mpeg_stat.
As mpeg_stat homepage is now dead .. you can get it at any FreeBSD mirror ... like here
