Converting avi video in Ubuntu

<< < (2/4) > >>

Llorean:
The page has several command lines for various linux tools for converting video.

Why do you keep repeating the question: Go back and re-read the page more carefully. It tells exactly what to type for several different programs, as well as mentioning GUI programs that can be used.

marquis:
LOL - why do I keep repeating the question?  Because you obviously aren't reading it.

AVI FILE!!!  Nowhere on that page does it mention AVI files.  I have successfully converted an AVI to a playable MPEG but I am having problems with the sound.  I was wondering if anyone has had luck converting AVI FILES TO MPEGS.

Nevermind - I shall look elsewhere for an answer.

Llorean:
Every method on that page can be used to convert AVI files. Why do you think we keep sending you back to the page? Do you really think we're too stupid to know what an AVI file is?

AVI stands for Audio-Video Interleave, it's a container format mostly developed by Microsoft that most commonly these days is used to carry MPEG4/ASP video and MP3 audio, though it's more flexible than this.

Every tool referenced on the PluginMpegplayer page can convert AVI files into a variety of different formats. The instructions on the page tells how to have them convert AVI files, as well as other video formats, to the format Rockbox expect.

Maybe you should take a little time to learn about such things. If I'd realized that you didn't know that AVI files didn't need to be treated differently, maybe I would've given you different advice.

I'm sorry I assumed a level of knowledge and competence beyond what you apparently had.

Strife89:
WinFF should get the job done, whatever the format. If the Linux binaries don't work, then use the Windows binaries through Wine. Works like a charm. :D

marquis:
Srife89 thanks for the help.

Llorean - I know what an AVI file is.  Wanted a quick way to convert it straight from that. FFMPeg does not support it as a file format.
