Re: Can't add files in winff

yes.. even i had same problem.
though i don't know the solution for this..
but i can suggest you workaround..
just drag and drop files in the main window of winff.. and get what you wanted done

Its a known issue http://code.google.com/p/winff/issues/detail?id=55&can=1&q=kde

Re: Can't add files in winff

Winff is merely a gui frontend for ffmpeg. It does not recognize or support all of the formats that ffmpeg supports. You can do a lot more with ffmpeg from the command line. See man ffmpeg.

Re: Can't add files in winff

@detonate: i completely agree with you.. but it is difficult to give command line parameters with accuracy.. ffmpeg should have given some standard examples..

is there any better frontend for ffmpeg?

I found this http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show...25810ad72ec901
It is not better than winff but it works

Re: Can't add files in winff

this is kind of strange ??

on my NEW old box with a fresh straight 9.10 install this bug IS thare and changing the GTK+ Appearance from Qtcurve to something elce dose fix it.

but on my good box (the one that's in my sig and has the best hardware I have) winff works just fine WITH the Qtcurve..........I'm not shure just what's different other than it started off as 9.04
and net upgraded to 9.10 .

just an observation and thought I'd share

Re: Can't add files in winff

The source of the problem is missing icon files for the file open dialog with the Gtk theme you use.

But the best solution is to take the source code for Winff and compile it for Qt instead of Gtk!
This is very easy because it is written with Lazarus/Freepascal, just a compiler switch to change.

I already do it and it work fine, I can upload a binary if someone is interested.

Re: Can't add files in winff

i am interested. please upload binary..
and give instructions of how to setup.. as i am relatively new to this thing

Re: Can't add files in winff

OK , I build a Qt version using the just released 1.2 version.
I make a 32 and 64 bit build you can found here: http://www.ap-i.net/pub/winff/

To avoid any problem with the standard winff install I include only the binary renamed to winff-qt and the Freepascal Qt binding library.
This not include any resource, so you must install it along with the winff package to get the translation and the sample preset. Because of this some new text like Preview are not translated.

To install:
- download the file corresponding to your architecture (winff-qt_1.2_x86_64.tgz for Kubuntu 64bit)
- open a Konsole terminal and go to the directory you download the file :
cd ~/Download
- extract the files, I suggest you put then in /usr/local :
sudo tar xvzf winff-qt_1.2_x86_64.tgz -C /usr/local
- update the library cache :
sudo ldconfig

To run just type: winff-qt

To uninstall : remove the files /usr/local/bin/winff-qt /usr/local/lib/libqt4intf.so /usr/local/lib/libqt4intf.so.5

Please note that I have nothing to do with winff, I am just a Kubuntu, winff user who find this useful
If there is a real interest we must look with the winff Ubuntu maintainer how to include that.
