Hi BillyMayDay, I tried, but there is no such package available.
However, I managed to download a debian verion from getdeb.net. Is it possible to install a debian package in FC8? I know I could use 'alien' in Ubuntu to convert rpm to debian format. I can't seem to install alien on FC8 though. No such repository.
My bad. There are also front ends (also in livna) for avidemux. avidemux-qt and avidemux-gtk use whichever you prefer or try both. Once the frontend is installed it is a simple matter. In gnome they show up under Applications->Sound & Video.
lazlow, thanks for your response. But as I said, once I launch the app and load the avi file, what am I supposed to do? How do I convert that file to mpeg or any other good compressed format?
Open the file you want to convert. Under video choose the format you want to convert to. Under audio choose format. Under format choose the container you want to use. Hit save and name file.
