Linux Mint Forums

I installed it through the Package Manager and although it showed up in my Mint Menu, it will not launch...I even tried to open it through the terminal by typing in winff but no "love" (terminal states something like "error code 203" i think)...So is this application "broken" in LMDE?
Anyone installed it and got it to work?

Open a terminal and type winff

What does it say exactly when you do?

Thank you for responding...Can't quite recall now..i should have saved it on a screenshot and posted it here..since then i took it off...i guess i got a bit discouraged
I had run it when i was previously using kubuntu and it installed, went on the menu and worked just fine...
Don't know why it won't set up properly on LMDE...this is the first program i have encountered on LMDE that just doesn't want to seem to install properly...I was curious if anyone else had gotten it on LMDE and got it to work...

I just did a re-install to x64 tonight and installed WinFF. Below is what I got from trying to start in terminal.

Thank you for posting and as i recall now from looking at yours...I got the EXACT SAME THING....
I had the same error message as he did, habitual...

on 22 feb 2012, same issue same error....

best,

well, i don't know what it is or how to use it but it installs fine, creates a menu entry, the GUI launches (after this i have to learn how to use it)

(following testing and not latest or incoming, maybe there's the difference, the v. installed is 1.3.2-5)

zerozero: i use to use it....it converts files...say you have a mpeg2 format file...which will play fine on the computer but not on a dvd player...using this, you could convert the file to one that will work on a dvd player...

i have used it
it got removed due to vlc or maybe rhythmbox

Description: graphical video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg
WinFF is a graphical user interface for FFmpeg. It will convert almost any
video file that FFmpeg will convert. WinFF does multiple files in multiple
formats at one time. You can, for example, convert mpeg's, flv's, and mov's
into avi's (or DVD/VCD format or MPEG or 3gp etc.) all at once.

This package provides a variety of preset conversion settings for common
formats and devices. These presets are intended to hit the "sweet spot" for
each individual codec. They have been written with a tip of the balance to
quality.

For most presets to work, it is necessary to have the unstripped version of the
libavcodec package, which can be obtained by installing libavcodec-extra-## as
suggested by this package. It might be necessary to enable additional
repositories to find that package.
