I know it isn't really pretty but here is a basic gtkdialog version. Since PupFF was taken I am calling it Woo-ff.

WYSIWYG

(except one bonus - I added it to the "open with" directory so you can right click to convert)

(one other bonus - its like 1000 times smaller)

License is public domain - have at it. (its a gtkdialog bash script so the pet is also the source)

This is a really interesting utility Technosaurus. I took a look at the script, and it looks like it will convert one video format to another, leaving pretty much everything else alone, which is great. BUT. (There is always a but Smile

)
I download video from the web to use on my Walkman. Like all portable players, it is very fussy over format, esp size. The ffmpeg command line that does it is

If you look at the if then statement that runs ffmpeg, I have it set up to do a quick ipod conversion. Adding another checkbox (or more likely a dropdown combobox) for the walkman would be a fairly trivial cut and paste. Anyhow I will start a new thread and post it when I get home.

Sorry about the thread hijacking. You can turn the plane now.

Hi gposil; Simple Q.. Why doesn`t pupff do x264 ?

Also I`m going to test avimerge to see if it works well.
It would be a very nice addition to pupff for doing vobs.

Also I got "beep" so monitor and speakers arn`t needed.
A perfect audio notice of job completion for pupff...
Having a regular sound notice would be good too.
Maybe an option to enable either one or both of them.

I thought it`d be nice if it was smaller, about 2/3 it`s size.
Put Convert to ... and Device Presets side by side.
And you could put 2 Pass and Deinterlace to the right
of the Aspect Ratio box, above and below each other.

Dont know if this is the right place for this, but it seems to just show a message saying its done, and try to play the file which turns out not to exist.

I had the same problem, using it under Puppy 4.3.1 Crying or Very sad

Looked good, and easy to use but had no joy.

However after a reboot, it seems to be working fine now, so will see what the end result is. Smile

Please what is the best program pet or sfs for quality in Ripping DVDs to Avi files
Cheers

Maybe this thread should be renamed because Gospils site is obviously no longer owned by him .

If anyone has a copy of the pet and source, please mirror.

Most of the pupFF stuff has been integrated into my woo-ff and later to shinobar's ffconvert.

I've stopped working on woo-ff in favor of supporting shinobar's project, since it does about the same thing and looks nicer.

Now you tell me!

LOL!

I don't mean to sound ungrateful for all your work because I do appreciate it but is there a way to make this work without having to change all the filenames?
It refused to work until I removed all the spaces.
Also how do you get it to select all the files in a directory at once?

Is it worth the difference to change now that it is installed and working?
