Depends on recent mplayer with libfaac and libx264 installed before compiling/installing mplayer.
Also, to read AAC audio, libfaad, and to read MP3 audio, libmp3lame, must be installed before compiling/installing mplayer.
If these requirements are not met, don't even try to run this script.

Mencoder may warn about "REMEMBER: MEncoder's libavformat muxing is presently broken"; this is irrelevant for encoding videos in H.264 for the iPod Touch/iPhone,
as they don't use B-frames.

Usage:

require 'csv'

out = ""
rows = []

CSV.open(ARGV[0] || "changes.csv", 'r').each { |row_in| rows << row_in.map { |cell| cell.nil? ? "" : cell.to_s } }

First step:

Note that vf scale/expand sizes will need to be tweaked for different input sizes.

mencoder <input file> -o output.avi -vf scale=480:270,expand=0:-50:0:0:1,harddup -subfont-autoscale 0 -subfont-text-scale 20 -subpos 99 -subfont-blur 2 -subfont-outline 1 -noskip -mc 0 -oac faac -faacopts mpeg=4:object=2:raw:br=128  -ovc x264 -x264encopts bframes=0:nocabac:global_header:threads=2:no8x8dct 

Second step:

ffmpeg -i output.avi -acodec copy -vcodec copy <output file>.m4v
