In the past few days, I wrote a script that will take basically any video file, chop it to equal parts under 10 minutes, and upload the result to youtube.
The effect is that I can publish all of my video podcast to youtube, without the long and painful chopping and uploading of files via a browser.
I based the uploading on a perl script from catonmat. I wrote my extension in python.
Here is a link to the sourcecode (under GPL license)
I would love to receive feedback, and improvments.

Hello all,
I am starting to work on the first Israeli video podcast, and we are now trying to figure out what format to publish it under. While pondering about this, I wrote a graphical program that will let you convert Video files for PSP format. And it should also run on iPods (however the screen resolution is specifically for PSP).

The program uses a command I found somewhere (you can see it in the code). The GUI is written in wxpython, which I just started learning not long ago. It is really useful for these small apps.
The requirements to get this working are:
- python
- ffmpeg
- python-wxgtk2.6
To run it just type:
python pspenc.py
