There are a number of of ways to contribute to the WinFF project

Translations

Coding

Looking for Delphi programmers. No Lazarus is nowhere near what Delphi is, but WinFF really doesn't need a fancy language.

ffmpeg command line users

Write a great preset and never have to type the same command line again. Do you have a preset that you already tweaked for a specific device or format? Please Post it to the Mail group.

Packaging

Everything from every Linux distribution to windows.

Helping Other Users

Helping other users with problems in the forums.

Specifics

Looking for help with Red Hat packages and tutorials.

Can I help translating the project into Dutch?

Comment by project member poipodec...@hotmail.com, Mar 1, 2009

@ cumulus0007, what exactly do you want to translate? The Dutch file is included in the project, as is a Dutch manual (the first next to English).

Well, I may help with Delphi code but I need the "full" last source of WinFF. I have some code (from http://winff.googlecode.com/files/winff-1.0.4-source.tar.gz), but looks like it's missing some libraries and the units names are fuzzy (unit1, unit2, unit3...).

I have a different idea of using FFMPEG to encode movies and as I already have my best options fixed, I made a small program (in Delphi) only to do the job: 1) get the original flash movie 2) run ffmpeg in background thread 3) verify success or error 4) move original file to trash 5) move new file to "mynewvideos folder".

I have no problem with personal folders like "usuário" or files names "áäëè.âvi".

We can exchange source codes. yours, Daniel Calegari danielcalegari@yahoo.com from Brazil

that's the current source. There are no extra libraries. It completely compiles with lazarus. Probably not so with delphi.

Yes lazarus has problems with utf-8 characters on windows. Not so on linux. Maybe the next version will fix it.

I have adjusted the language from my WinFF in Suse 11.2/64bits PORT-BR. The details are simples and the file is avaiable in my PC. The path is /usr/share/winff/languages/

I can help with Russian and Hebrew translations if needed.

@igascream

If you want, you can review the exiting translations and update it. Please attach the files to our bug tracker with the remark "wishlist" or put them on our forum.

@ marcodrudi67

Please, if you like. It is always welcome. Please create a wish list bug with the manual attached and we will include it in future versions.

OK, I've installed lazarus. How do you build this? Since I've never heard of lazarus before now, it would be nice if the README.txt would include some basic build procedure. Obviously I can't run configure and make.

Comment by project member bgg...@gmail.com, Nov 23, 2010

Open the winff.lpi file in lazarus, and go to the build menu, and select build all
