Translation files included in the release are sometimes out-of-date because they are frequently updated. You can download the latest translation files (20130911) and copy all the *.qm files to the translation file directory (typically /usr/share/qwinff/translations on GNU/Linux and C:\Program Files (x86)\QWinFF\translations on Windows).
QWinFF depends on the following programs at runtime:
- ffmpeg (required)
- ffprobe (required)
- ffplay (optional, for previewing audio/video cutting)
- sox (optional, for adjusting audio speed)

sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install qwinff

Fedora
QWinFF packages for Fedora are also available in openSUSE Build
Service. Currently the following releases are supported:
- Fedora 17
- Fedora 18
- Fedora 19
However, FFmpeg is not included in the official repository of Fedora. The recommended way to install ffmpeg on Fedora is using the rpm-fusion repository. The complete installation process is as follow:
# Get Fedora release
RELEASE=`cat /etc/fedora-release | grep -o '[0-9][0-9]*'`
# install rpm-fusion (for ffmpeg)
sudo yum install \
"http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-${RELEASE}.noarch.rpm"
# add qwinff repo
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo \
"http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lzh9102/Fedora_${RELEASE}/home:lzh9102.repo"
# install qwinff
sudo yum install qwinff
Firstly thank you very much for your work. Two comments:
ReplyDeleteIn version 0.1.7 on openSUSE 12.2, the presets do not appear in the file presets.xml see.
Also I think you could add in the parameters of the conversion option to copy the video and audio streams if no change is needed.
Excuse me for my expression, but English is not my native language.
Greetings.
Hello,
DeleteThanks for the comments. The first issue is due to a change in ffmpeg output format, and it has been fixed in the latest development snapshot. The next version will be free from the problem. As for the second issue, I am willing to try to add the "-codec copy" options to the UI, but I can't find a way to determine whether the output can be copied directly from the input.
Actually, the "Same Quality" option is incorrect. When I begin writing this program, I mistakenly interpreted "-sameq" as "Same Quality". I'll rename the option in the next version to prevent misunderstanding.
I will continue the development after my final exams and school projects are over.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am on OpenSuse 12.3. There FFMPEG 2.0 is installed. When I try to convert movies there is always the error message: "Error Message from FFmpeg: Error parsing global options: Invalid argument".
Do you have a short description, how to updated the commandline for FFMPEG?
Thanke you,
Johannes
Thank you very much for reporting this problem. The "-sameq" option is removed in FFmpeg 2.0, so all presets using it (specifically mp4) are affected. The problem will be fixed in the next release of QWinFF. To solve the problem temporarily, please edit /usr/share/qwinff/presets.xml and remove all instances of "-sameq". For example, change "-strict experimental -sameq" to "-strict experimental".
DeleteIf the problem still persists, try removing "-strict experimental" also.
