-My //con2vob// script listed above is too short to require functions but it will serve as a good example of how to use functions. It will also serve as the core of a more complex script that also burns DVDs which I will introduce in **Part 5** of this series.

-//There are gui programs out there which will do exactly what my con2vob script does but how many mouse clicks, how much time and how much memory does it take? I started scripted encoding and burning when I had a server for printer and file shares that also had a dvb card on board so saved movies and docos would be availble to any client on demand. Encoding takes a long time and is resource intensive but it didn't matter to a headless box with memory to spare and it could be done any time, day or night. It was just a matter of ssh'ing into the server and running a script.

+I//'m not running that server now but I still prefer to do this sort of thing with scripts. I only use it on saved DVB broadcasts so the settings can remain the same. I either run con2vob with //nice// and go about doing something else or else run it when I go to bed or walk out the door and let the machine shut itself down when it is finished.//
