can't seem to get FFConvert multimedia converter in Wary 5.0 to produce playable files. If I try to select and convert any ogg file (say Magic-Pilot.ogg) to an mp3 file using ffconvert, a file approximately 2.4 meg long is produced, but it lasts only a few milliseconds and is not recognizable. The command line produced by ffconvert is:


ravensrest: Sorry I am no help with your problem. How are you able to determine what the command line that ffconvert generates is?

GaRailroader, there are two ways I know of to see the command FFConvert generates. First, while it is converting it creates a file "ffconvert..*.sh" in the /tmp/directory. Open this as a text file to see the command line. Second, if you run ffconvert in a terminal it will print the command to the terminal.

Have you loaded the preset for 'MP3 Audio'?
Or, select 'libmp3lame' for the audio codec.

Shinobar, selecting the libmp3lame codec produces a usable mp3 file. Thanks, but why wouldn't one choose the vorbis codec when handling ogg files.

Hello,

I recently found this thread and started to try ffconvert. I got a german version without being asked about that, I didn't mind because it happens to be my native language, but I didn't want these mutilated Umlaute.

didn't help. (see german screenshot)

You can launch ffconvert in English by
Code:
LANG=en_US; ffconvert


Ok this worked partially, but now there are double entries in some menus, the same thing in german and in english (see english screenshot). How can that be fixed? English is ok for me because the rest of puppy is in english too, but I'd like to get rid of these redundand german entries.

Hallo hanzf,
you wrote:

Your peispiel.png shows me that you have an outdated translation file which did NOT use UTF-8.
You can prove this if you like to by
Code:
msgunfmt /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/ffconvert.mo


Take ffconvert.mo from http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=54056&start=90 and copy it to /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES.

Or just delete /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES Wink

thank you, the new .mo file fixed it.

I moved LC_MESSAGES to another place but then I still had these 2-language entries as shown in the example screenshot, so a pure english version seems hard to get. Strange thing.

really strange...
Not on my system. Could you try my version (ffconvert-1.0) attached?
click on it to decompress and move it into /usr/bin.

please use
Code:
LANGUAGE=en ffconvert

not
Code:
LANGUAGE=en; ffconvert


Thanks for reporting.

Still the same strange thing. The german version is good now, so it's ok for everyday use, but I wonder what this 2-language effect might be.

For some reason, if I try to convert files that are in another partition, it says "No files were converted" and exits.

shinobar,

Will ffconvert use ffmpeg -0.8.x if it is available? The multimedia upgrade for Lucid 5.2.8 has ffmpeg 0.8.x (ie., libavcodec.so.53) in addition to the default ffmpeg 0.6 (libavcodec.so.52).

I think I see--does ffconvert use whichever libavcodec is pointed to by the libavcodec.so symlink? Thanks.

@playdayz
It is just a frontend to the ffmpeg binary and should continue to work until something drastic in ffmpeg's CLI changes. Keep in mind though that there are versioned api's now and most things get backported. So now if upstream does something stupid like changing bitrate defaults to be in kbytes instead of bytes (yeah - it broke a lot of scripts when they pulled that one) ... you can simply use the latest stable version in that series

@playdayz
Recent ffmpeg is in wary-5.2, and ffmpeg 0.8 is in dpup exprimo.
FFConvert-1.0 is tested on them and works ok.

Right.
ffmpeg 0.8 has changed only some advanced options which users have to manage.

Thanks technosaurus and shinobar. That is what I was asking. I didn't know if ffconvert used the libraries directly such as as libavcodec. Now that I understand, I can see that when ffmpeg is upgraded as it is the the "Super Multimedia Upgrade" for Lucid 5.2.8"that ffconvert will use the upgraded ffmpeg.
