[SOLVED] Video Converter with tools, Fedora 20

Ztcoracat · 07-07-2014, 11:58 PM

Hi:

I'm looking for a video converter.

I tried to install Handbrake but yum said it's not available and nothing to do.
I also looked at winff but wasn't sure if it would allow me to take things out of videos.

I installed the codec for Fedora and gstreamer and the plugins along with ffmpeg so that's done.

I read online that all you really need is ffmpeg but isn't that only funtional through cmd-line only?

Could you make a few recommendations?

Thanks:-

I was able to install WinFF and ffmpeg but the program is giving me an error that I don't understand.

Code:

Executable not found: "/usr/bin/xterm"
Press ok to ignore and risk data corruption
Press Cancel to kill the program

I checked and I have /usr/bin/winff--

What am I missing and how can I get this to work?

Well, this one appears to be simple. You're missing xterm.

Code:

sudo yum install xterm

i like h264enc (there is also xvidenc). they walk you thru very many options.

Installing...
xterm.x86_64 0.297-1 Fc20

After xterm was installed I opened WinFF and choose a video to convert-
No error this time!

X-term is a back end, right?

Thanks Rock Doctor-
