I was wondering what people's thought's were on including tovid in the knoppmyth distro. There's a bit of overlap in functionality between it and some of the included tools, but tovid does really seem to make some things a lot easier.

This app started life as a simple shell script, and there has been some mention of it in these forums before. That was quite a while back though, and tovid has improved since then. It does more now and even has a little GUI front end.

Please check out this link to tovid : http://tovid.berlios.de/en/gui.html

Note the screenshots in the above link are old. Here is a more updated look :

What do you all think, would this be a worthwhile addition to the knoppmyth distro?
Thanks for your comments...

tovid has come along way since I lasted looked at it! While the GUI looks great, it doesn't seen to lend itself to a "TV environment". Also, one would have to be able to control tovid via remote.
