ianw1974 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 avidemux perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 VLC does the job pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MNG Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 got anything faster? VLC streams every second in real time, therefore conversion for an hour's video takes an hour! i haven't tried avidemux.. will try then post a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MNG Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 when i tried to use vlc, it gave me the following message: Streaming / Transcoding failed: It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder: MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3. If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution. any ideas on what to do here? and i didn't understand how to use avidemux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 You must use VLC package and plugins from Penguin Liberation Front (PLF). VLC from the main repos is compiled with support ONLY for "free" media formats. There's no such issue with VLC from PLF, you can I/O virtually whatever audio/video file you wish. Installing VLC from PLF will also bring as a dependency ffmpeg from PLF, which supports more formats than the one from main repos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lardy Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I have used Handbrake in the past: http://handbrake.fr/ http://www.linuxtech.net/downloads/handbrake_mandriva_rpm.html It looks as if OpenShot will be packaged for 2010.1: http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=openshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
