Under Wary 5.2 ffconvert's dropdown lists cause my cpu usage to shoot through the roof and my computer becomes very very slow until a selection is made and the list closes, then everything goes back to normal. I don't know if this is a ffconvert problem or a wary problem (I don't have this trouble in puppy 4.3.1) but something somewhere clearly isn't right.

cpu usage with gtkdialog3 combobox
I can reproduce the issue on Wary-5.2.2 RC.kenbanistu wrote:Under Wary 5.2 ffconvert's dropdown lists cause my cpu usage to shoot through the roof and my computer becomes very very slow until a selection is made and the list closes, then everything goes back to normal.
Seems the gtkdialog3/4 problem on the recent Wary/Racy.
It does not occur on Wary-511.

I finally got around to testing this app out and want to say thanks alot for making this shinobar. I really wanted to have the ability to rip dvds and pipe the stdout directly into ffmpeg without having to rip to the hard drive first. With quite a bit of hacking I was able to add that feature to your script. I used code from pdvdrsab & pcdripper to accomplish this. If you tick the checkbox for "use dvd" vobcopy should find the longest title and add that number to the box to the left. You can change that number if you want to rip a different title on the dvd (most times this will rip the main title). I'm guessing there may be some interest in having that feature so I'll attach the revised script here.

h.264(MPEG4 AVC) with recent version of ffmpeg
You may need to edit the file ~/.config/ffconvert/ffconvert.rc for h.264(MPEG4 AVC) with recent version of ffmpeg. See the top post.

Hi Shinobar, thanks for making this app, I am running on puppy 5.28. From testing I got these points-
1) running ffconvert from the command line, I also get the error when pressing the preset drop down menu. Also, the message boxes 'loading' do not close - and have to be closed manually.
2) selecting 'WAV audio for CD' preset does not change the audio encoder, which encoder should be used?
3) the 'vorbis' encoder is not recognised by ffmpeg - switching to 'libvorbis' works. does the 'vorbis' option work in any version? if not you could change the preset to 'libvorbis'.

It seems the simplest command works well to make WAV,

so maybe get FFconvert to build that command?
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -i inputfilename.mp3 outputfilename.wav

'WAV audio for CD' preset is broken
Tnx for the report.darkcity wrote:2) selecting 'WAV audio for CD' preset does not change the audio encoder, which encoder should be used?
The 'WAV audio for CD' preset is broken. Use the 'WAV audio for secondlife' instead.
I do not recommend the code 'ffmpeg -i inputfilename.mp3 outputfilename.wav' because the source is not always match the sampling rate(to be 44100) and channels(to be stereo).
But you need not ffconvert if you burn the audio cd by the pburn.

Enhanced Spanish translation for FFConvert
shinobar-san,
I've checked and corrected the existing Spanish translation for FFConvert taken from the .po file included in lang_pack_all_0.9.sfs. I also made a Portuguese translation:

I'm trying different options for burning CDs. I think my CD drive may be breaking or/and Pburn doesn't recognise it. Going to try FFconvert(mp3->WAV) and k3B(Burn) next.

Nothing wrong with K3b and FFconvert, but if Pburn could be improved, I am listening....darkcity wrote:I think my CD drive may be breaking or/and Pburn doesn't recognise it. Going to try FFconvert(mp3->WAV) and k3B(Burn) next.

Thanks Sigmund.

Hi shinobar. I am working on the Pmusic_Upgrade 002 for Lucid 5.2.8, which replaces the old Multimedia Upgrade. I looked at your configure options and improved my own--it uses ffmpeg 0.8.9.
I was able to convert wmv to mpeg2 by selecting NTSC DVD fullscreen and changing output File Format to mpeg (mpg). Also, I was able to burn wmv to DVD using Pburn 3.4.1. These were the two that you had problems with I think.
I think ffconvert can be a very useful program. If you revise it I suggest possibly including a "Basic" interface that only shows the most popular options--then we could test those all very thoroughly. The Basic interface could include audio to mp3, m4a, flac, ogg and video to mp4, mpeg2, xvid, just for examples.
I got some messages while I was playing around with ffconvert.
1. using the preset MPEG4 Audio I received the following message, and I noticed that there is no m4a in the File Format list.

encoder 'aac' is experimental and might produce bad results.
Add '-strict experimental' if you want to use it.
Or use the non experimental encoder 'libfaac'.
