Converting avi video in Ubuntu
Llorean:
Even assuming it didn't (which is untrue, I use ffmpeg with AVI files all the time), mplayer and VLC both do, and they're also described on the page.
Did you really read it?
(By the way: WinFF is actuall FFMpeg with a graphical front end, so if FFmpeg didn't support AVI files, it wouldn't work for you either)
marquis:
Ok. I don't want a flame war. Just wanted help. Calling me stupid doesn't really help much.
Yes, I read the page as I mentioned numerous times above. I tried Mencoder, FFMpeg, and VLC, all to no avail. I tried Avidemux and was just seeing if anyone else had any luck in Linux.
Let's just forget this thread as I don't think it's going to lead to a resolution for me.
Thanks anyway.
Llorean:
So why didn't you ever say "None of those worked for me" or ask for help with them?
You kept asking the same question, "How do I do it?" which IS answered on that page, and works for most people. When it didn't work for you, asking "How do I do it?" again just convinced people you never even looked.
For example, what command line, exactly, did you use with mencoder, and what was the error message? From there I can probably tell you how to fix it to work.
Zardoz:
In fairness I think s/he explained themselves pretty well . I found ffmpeg to work well enough when i was using Linux Mint
marquis:
thanks Zardoz.
I will tinker some more with FFMPeg and see what happens.
