theYinYeti Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Plenty. I personally prefer mencoder, even though it is a command-line tool. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 is there any GUI based video converter???????????? We need to know what desktop you're using to suggest a gui. If you're using KDE, you can install konverter for a gui frontend to mencoder. You can install it with your gui package manager, or in a terminal with urpmi konverter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude67 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Do i hv to install URPMI program???B'coz wen i m typing urpmi konverter in the terminal its saying "bash: urpmi : command not found You need to log in as root (su and password) in terminal before running urpmi. urpmi command tells the packet manager of Mandriva to install package that matches what you tell. E.g. 'urpmi konverter' should install package called konverter. Simple, eh? To remove the said package, you write (as root) 'urpme konverter'. And it uninstalles the said package. Equally simple. :) and yes i am using KDE desktop. Can you please also tell me which destop environment is better KDE or GNOME?? Well, I think you should stay with KDE - at least as long as you have familiarized yourself with Linux & Mandriva distro. No one can say, which is better; KDE or Gnome. Or, of course they CAN, but the shouldn't. It's a matter of opinion. The reason I'm suggesting you stick with KDE for awhile is because, IMHO, it's easier to use KDE than Gnome when moving from Windows to Linux.

scarecrow Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 FYI VLC 0.9.0 (still a beta, but very stable ATM) does numerous convertions, asking just the absolutely necessary questions. Most of them are done via ffmpeg, so using mencoder via CLI may well be the most "politically correct" solution, after all! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
