I am having the same sort of problem in my case I need the use "libvorbis" instead of "vorbis". What happens if you use "xvid"?

shinobar, once I used 01micko files it worked.

What was confusing me was the presets. It appeared the libxdiv file had been installed when in fact it wasn't. It appeared to be showing up in the combo box when it was really displaying the preset codec.

Thanks for your help and understanding.

I typically listen to 3 or 4 audio books a week while I'm working. I've been using FFConvert 0.9 to condense mp3 audio books so more of them will fit on my mp3 player and I won't have to reload it so often.

FFConvert does a very good job overall. It has only one very irritating bug. (I'll call it a bug anyway.

) Every time it begins to convert a new mp3 file, FFConvert starts a new console window in whichever desktop I happen to be using. I typed this in a forum compose window while simultaneously FFConvert converted a CD containing 100 mp3 files. A new console window popped up in the browser window, and I had to click in the browser window to make it go away, a hundred times.

When I use this command to convert a directory full of mp3 files, that doesn't happen. A console window starts when the conversion process begins, but since everything happens in that one console window I can minimize the window and go about some other business while the mp3 files are converted.

Thanks aarf for testing. the sfs maybe work only on 431JP(japanese edition) or its delivertives because their sfs system is different. Use PETs instead.
Here isare PETs for avidemux2

When I try to convert something to VCD using the NTSC VCD preset, it fails. Not sure what's wrong.

Are you sure using FFconvert-1.0?

Yes.

kenbanistu,
The screen size for NTSC VCD should be '352x240'.
It seems that the letter 'x' in lower case, was replaced with a wrong character... for example '352X240' or something.

Load 'NTSC VCD' preset, then select the screen size again to '352x240'. If you cannnot find it in the combobox, you can type it.

There are a couple of traps here.

1. When selecting a preset you must then press load for it to take affect.

2. You need to make sure you have also installed the codecs.

I gave that a try and it didn't help.

I should also have mentioned before, that I get an error message that says:

An error occured.
You can check the generated command in /tmp/ffconvert_wdpm1.sh.

When I click the Look up button here is whats in ffconvert_wdpm1.sh

#!/bin/sh
cd "/initrd/mnt/dev_save/VCD/ffconvert_tmp_wdpm1"
ffmpeg -pass 1 -i "/initrd/mnt/dev_save/wdpm1.wmv" -y -f mpeg -vcodec mpeg1video -b 1150k -s 352240 -r 2997 -mbd rd -trellis -mv0 -cmp 0 -subcmp 2 -an -an /dev/null && ffmpeg -pass 2 -i "/initrd/mnt/dev_save/wdpm1.wmv" -y -f mpeg -vcodec mpeg1video -b 1150k -s 352240 -r 2997 -mbd rd -trellis -mv0 -cmp 0 -subcmp 2 -acodec mp2 -ab 224k -ar 44100 -ac 2 "/initrd/mnt/dev_save/VCD/wdpm1.mpg"
STATUS=$?
echo -n $STATUS > "/tmp/ffconvert_wdpm1.tmp"
[ "$STATUS" = "0" ] && exit
cat "/tmp/ffconvert_wdpm1.sh" | grep '^ffmpeg'
echo -n Press [ENTER] to exit :
read REP

I hope this helps because I'm getting frustrated.

I am, as usual, confused.

If this PET ffconvert 1.0 with the codecs - called ffmpeg - and is compiled for Lucid 5.1 or is it just ffmpeg 1.0 or just the codecs for ffconvert 1.0, or ???, please?

The FFconvert-1.0 is the frontend only, without any codecs.
You can install it on any puppies 4.x/5.x., but Quirky and Wary already have FFconvert-1.0 preinstalled.

Requires FFmpeg as the backend.
FFmpeg is preinstalled on most of puppies. But you can upgrade it to enhance the ability.

For puppies 4.x, recommended ffmeg-runall-0.6-i686-p4.pet.
For Lucid Puppy, recommended ffmpeg1-0.6-i686-Lucid.pet provided by o1mico. You may also need additional libraries, ffmpeg_dependencies-0.6.pet.
For Quirky or Wary, you do not need to upgrade FFmpeg. They already have excellent one.

Hi shinobar,

I had just downloaded wary090.
Nice idea to put de/LC_MESSAGES/ffconvert.mo
So I updated from doc/.../nls/...pot.

Regards

L18L, your explanation is too terse or cryptic. Would you please add some meat to it? Thanks.

L18L · #93 Post by **L18L** » Sun 10 Oct 2010, 12:59

Hi Flash,

terse or cryptic

you are absolutely right.
shinobar will understand it, but here is an explanation for you and all who are interested in localization.

I was testing the german translation and uploaded the recreated result.

wary090 contains /usr/bin/ffconvert which is internationalized.
The German translation file is
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/ffconvert.mo (de for German).
It is ( besides japanese ) the only language file in wary090. shinobar will put it into the language-pack_de and then it will be wasting space in the main.sfs no more!

.mo stands for 'machine object' and can be created by the gettext utility msgfmt from the 'portable object' file
/usr/share/doc/ffconvert/nls/ffconvert_de.po
which is editable in geany (or in yudit for languages which write from right to left).

If you want to use the german ffconvert:
Desktop > Choose Locale Country Setup
choose de_DE
no need to restart X
You can launch ffconvert in German language from terminal:

Code: Select all

LANG=de_DE; ffconvert

You will see the GUI with some textes not translated and some ugly characters which are not german.
Now apply the new translation:

edit /usr/bin/ffconvert to:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# FFConvert - a frontend of ffmpeg
# 20 Jul 2010 by shinobar <shino@pos.to>
export OUTPUT_CHARSET=UTF-8
VERSION="1.0"

copy the new translation ffconvert.mo to
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES
and relaunch

Code: Select all

LANG=de_DE; ffconvert

Now everything is allright.
'export OUTPUT_CHARSET=UTF-8' is nort really a bug and shinobar will correct it, I am sure about this

You can launch ffconvert in English by

Code: Select all

LANG=en_US; ffconvert

If you like to produce a translation to another language feel free to do so!
Hope that helps
Cheers

I was almost forgetting it. Thanks.

I am planning the next release, but time goes by...

Attached a development version.
It is not PET because it is not official release. Use who knows how to use.
It does not contain full components. Only the script and the launcher(.desktop file).
Use with ffconvert-1.0.
The development version can launch with the launcher or clicking the script.
Or type 'ffconvert-1.1' from the virtual terminal.

Just tried to convert 2barks.au to mp3 mono (wary090)

Code: Select all

# LANG=de_DE@euro;ffconvert-1.1

output:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ffconvert-1.1: line 130: 31775 Terminated              gtkdialog3 -p DIALOG >/dev/null

(gtkdialog3:1858): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:3079: signal name `depressed' is invalid for instance `0x8532258'
/usr/bin/ffconvert-1.1: line 774: 31783 Terminated              gtkdialog3 -p DIALOG >/dev/null
[1]+  Terminated              gtkdialog3 -p DIALOG >$REPFILE
#

result sounds good in Pmusic

no sound in mplayer

May others

who knows how to use

do more testing.
