Get FFconvert, should work on puppy 4.x/5.x and puplets.

Upgrading to ffconvert-1.4 and later is recommended especially for Precise puppies. Older versions fail to encode WAV for CD.
For Wary/Racy-5.3, also consider to install FFmpeg-0.8.2 to enable screen capture.
For Puppy-4.x, also consider to install ffmpeg-0.7.6.

SCREENSHOT:
OLD VERSION:
ffconvert-1.0.pet (uploaded on 20 Jul 2010)
For Precise Puppy, install libav-extra-0.8.3-up.pet for extra codecs. Use 'libvo-aacenc' instead of 'libfaac' for the ffconvert MPEG4-AVC encoding.
For Slacko 5.6, Use 'h264' and 'ac3' instead of 'libx264' and 'libfaac' for the ffconvert MPEG4-AVC encoding.
NOTE on libx264(MPEG4 AVC):
Converting to libx264(MPEG4 AVC) fails with recent version of ffmpeg.
The reason is the default ffpreset file the ffmpeg assumes does not exist under /usr/share/ffmpeg.
Open the file ~/.config/ffconvert/ffconvert.rc by a text editor.
Find the lines:
Code: Select all
#DEFVPREFIRST="fastfirstpass"
#DEFVPREFINAL="hq"
For example:
Code: Select all
DEFVPREFIRST="medium_firstpass"
DEFVPREFINAL="medium"
Note that ffmpeg pet is now provided separately.
NOTE on Audio CD: The 'WAV audio for CD' preset is broken. Use the 'WAV audio for secondlife' instead. But you need not convert the audio file when you burn audio CD's using pburn.
