tkInfo is a tk script to read GNU "info" files and display them. tkInfo can be used stand alone (via WISH), or embeded within an application to provide integrated, on-line help. Info files provide a robust hyper-text capability that is ideal for on-line help. The format is suitable for both tty-based systems and graphical systems. In addition, the same document source can produce both a "nice" hardcopy manual and Info files. Note that most GNU tools are documented in this way (via texinfo). Info files can be created manually with any text editor, with the support of the emacs "info" package, with the GNU "makeinfo" program, or with the emacs scripts for latexinfo. The makeinfo program produces a set of info files from TeX source that use the GNU texinfo style (the one that uses "@" everywhere). Similarly, the latexinfo package (like texinfo, but with latex commands and syntax) provides emacs scripts for producing info files.

iso2mkv is software for automated DVD to XviD/vorbis MKV video conversion. Gives almost total control on the process of video compression at maximum quality, while being simple and straightforward to use (a kind of 'life-hack'). The intended audience is advanced end-users and the script is not user-error-proof. Based on mplayer, mencoder, oggenc or lame, and mkvmerge (if not properly installed, won't work). This is only a shell script that wraps the other programs. If you can watch the DVD with MPlayer, you can compress it with iso2mkv. Other used programs (hopefully included in most GNU/Linux distributions as well a FreeBSD :) ) are basename, bc, nice, stat.
