Here is the FFmpeg Wrapper script. It corrects the acodec "vorbis" parameter to "libvorbis". This is because older versions of FFmpeg used "vorbis" as the acodec parameter and in new version it was changed to "libvorbis". It also corrects "-vcodec xvid" to "-vcodec libxvid". This way old pre-sets/scripts are still compatible with this version of FFmpeg.

To use, rename the "ffmpeg" binary to "fmpeg.bin" and save this script in "/usr/bin/" using the name "ffmpeg".

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

#FFmpeg Wrapper
#Version=0.0.5
#Date (dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss)=08.10.2010 22:42:38
#Thanks to the dad (SSR) of Alexander .S.T. Ross (abushcrafter) (Again :).)
