DEVELOPMENT

- Creating new version
* change VERSION and VERSION_DATE in converter 
* change tar.gz filename and directory in make_tgz.sh 
* add Release notes in Changelog

- Making a new filter
Copy the filter header and init code from another filter, for example:
------copy from here---------
#!/bin/bash
# CONVERTER
# CONVERTER NAME=AVI to MPEG2
# CONVERTER INPUT_EXTENSION=avi
# CONVERTER INPUT_MIME=video/x-msvideo
# CONVERTER OUTPUT_EXTENSION=mpg
# CONVERTER OUTPUT_MIME=video/mp2p
# CONVERTER VIEWER=mplayer
# CONVERTER NEEDED_TOOLS=mencoder
# CONVERTER

export INPUT_FILE="$1"
export OUTPUT_FILE="$2"
. /etc/converter/tools
init_filter

echo "Filter AVI to MPEG2"
echo "INPUT_FILE = $INPUT_FILE"
echo "OUTPUT_FILE = $OUTPUT_FILE"
--------until here-------------


INPUT_FILE is the source file and OUTPUT_FILE is the target file
You can get the MIME type using an example file and running the following command:
file -b -i <filename>

You can see an output like this:
application/octet-stream; charset=binary

The MIME type is the first part: application/octet-stream
