Ubuntu style installation
IntroductionUntil the packages are completely accepted (and after that for faster updates) Ubuntu packages are available at http://winff.org/ and at my Personal Package Archive (PPA) provided by Launchpad. Also a fuller featured ffmpeg is available via Medibuntu for Hardy users. Details WinffThe Ubuntu repositories come in two flavors. We provide our repository at http://winff.org or you can use the repository at Launchpad. We have not received any complains about our prive repo, so that is recommended, but for redundancy we mention Launchpad as well (however the later one might contain experimental packages). I describe to procedures, one using the command line, the other using synaptic. First the command line. Command lineIf you use the signed repository you need to accept the key AAFE086A. To get that installed you can run: wget --quiet --output-document=- "http://winff.org/ubuntu/AAFE086A.gpg" | sudo apt-key add - After that you need to add the repository to apt. You can do that by entering the line (1) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winff.list. You will have to create that file, which can be done with the following command: echo "deb http://winff.org/ubuntu jaunty universe" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winff.list Of course you need to change jaunty to hardy or intrepid if you have that. (You can also just add the line to /etc/apt/sources.list .) You can now install WinFF directly by running: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install winff interpid users also want to run: sudo apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-51 jaunty users also want to run: sudo apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-52 If you are having problems with the described procedure, please file a bug in our bug tracker. Please include in the bug the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winff.list # and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install winff (1) deb http://winff.org/ubuntu jaunty universe (or if you prefer the PPA:) deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu jaunty main (replace jaunty with your release) SynapticIf you are using synaptic to install packages you have to download and save the key (right click here). Then go in the synaptic menu to Setting -> Repositories.
Now go to the tab "Authentication", press "Import Key File" and select the just downloaded file.
Now go to the "Third-party Software" tab and select "add"
In the next field type (or copy/paste) deb http://winff.org/ubuntu jaunty universe (change jaunty to your release) and press "Add source".
Now, after you press "Reload" you can just choose winff from the list. If you have winff installed from Matt's package file, you should uninstall that first. Warning non standard ffmpegIf you don't run the standard Ubuntu ffmpeg and want to make use of the more extended original set of presets, please read the README.Debian (3) after installation. If you find that your presets don't work, try the other presets files that are available here. In order to use an other presets file than supplied with the package you might need to remove the old preset file in ~/.winff/presets.xml , but by doing that you will also remove self-made presets. So if you made or edited the presets, you want to compare the files manually. (3) /usr/share/doc/winff/README.Debian Details extended ffmpeg in UbuntuFor a fuller ffmpeg than the standard on in your flavor of Ubuntu I refer to the excellent guide in the Ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1117283 If you want to compile your own ffmpeg (it is not so hard) you can follow the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 Details ffmpeg for JauntyJaunty contains a pretty complete ffmpeg already, but you probably want to have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed which should pull in the 'unstripped' versions of several libraries. You can also look for them directly: libavcodec-unstripped-52, libavutil-unstripped-49 and libavformat-unstripped-52 from the multiverse repository. Details ffmpeg for InterpidIntrepid contains a pretty complete ffmpeg already, but you probably want to have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed which should pull in the 'unstripped' versions of several libraries. You can also look for them directly: libavcodec-unstripped-51, libavutil-unstripped-49 and libavformat-unstripped-52 from the multiverse repository. Details ffmpeg for HardyBecause of legal and copyright issues not all codec are standard available in ffmpeg from Ubuntu. If you don't mind these issues (see the Medibuntu wiki) you can install the fuller featured ffmpeg from Medibuntu. The full explanation is available at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu. In short the procedure is as follows:
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list If you are running Gutsy or... replace the string "hardy" by that version of ubuntu.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update You may be asked to accept this package even though it cannot be authenticated. This is normal; typing "Yes" means you trust Medibuntu. If you want to import the gpg key of medibuntu directly, it has number: 0C5A2783 The contains you can find for instance at pgp.net. Now you are ready to install the medibuntu version of ffmpeg. Beware, because the medibuntu version of ffmpeg is usually newer, the presets that come with winff might not always work. Please take a look at the forum. |

i usually add an new repository this way
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winff.list
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winff.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu intrepid main
is there a "GPG" key? I've had trouble in the terminal, so once I actually copied the text of the "GPG" key and put it into a gedit file and saved it and imported it into synaptic.
I have tried to install winff without success... i'm going mad since 2 hours :(
started with : sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
added : deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu intrepid main
then reloaded by terminal and by GUI
then looked for the package... with the search etc... can't find it... where is it ?? :(
I also tried hardy and those 2 experimental servers... but can't find it anyhow :( could someone help me please ?? installed mediabuntu without any issue following the procedure.
Oh, and if you go to the site http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu you can download the .deb by hand and probably install by clicking on it (not the recommended procedure).
The same here, after add repositories and key, there's no WinFF
Same here, no WinFF
optimisme and Jordan.D.Carter: could you please be a little bit more specific? As far is I can test it works. With "there's no WinFF" you mean that synaptic can not find it? What happens if you run the command
? Please post the output in a new bug (under the "issues" tag).
Thanks for this software and instructions for intrepid... finally able to mass convert my flv files to mp3. Previously tried VLC but the sound came out scrambled.
I have come across the same problem of optimisme and Jordan.D.Carter. (I am using Xubuntu 8.10).
After following the instructions in the "Synaptic" section above, the Synaptic Package Manager cannot find WinFF.
However the command by poipodec "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install winff" works for me (note: need to exit the Synaptic Package Manager for the command to work) and WinFF is then shown under the Multimedia menu.
fantalog.. can you confirm that after you run my commands winff shows up in synaptic?
Hi, I was having problems installing too, but I finally got it to work by messing around a bit. I don't remember everything I did, but I do know that I had to install ffmpeg before it finally worked for me. So do that before installing winff? I could have just gotten lucky too, I'm new to this stuff.
hello, i'm french i 'm lookink for how to install winff without any problem; it's almost the 5th time i trie without success; the program seems good, but the problem is about the codecs and i always have the same answer "unknowned encoder xxxx" where xxxx is the name of an encoder i've installed from differents sources with no success....so please help me or if yu know another one good tell where i can find it thanks a lot.......and good year.....
@ alain.fl...@orange.fr
What version of Ubuntu are you running? Which version of winff did you install? Did you (need to) install one of the libavcodec-unstripped libraries? ffmpeg uses its own codecs (they are compiled for ffmpeg) and not other encoders in Ubuntu.
Hi there,
I've been days now trying to install Winff unsuccessfully...
I am following the path described at http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/winff, and my problems seem to begin when I do the "Synaptic Menu-Setting-Repositories" thing : I get a message that says "W: GPG error: http://winff.org intrepid Release: Les signatures suivantes n'ont pas pu être vérifiées car la clé publique n'est pas disponible : NO_PUBKEY 1CD52D7BAAFE086A". The ubuntu-fr.org says it's no big deal - and maybe that's not my problem -, but when I keep doing the installation and go to the Synaptic Menu to reload the whole thing, it does reload files, but never Winff, I've been doing it over and over, from scratch, but Winff never shows.
I am an absolute beginner at Linux and am restricted to the graphic mode at this point :-), could anyone help me ?
Thanks a bunch !
FYI, those install instructions labeled under the "Synaptic" section are actually instructions for Adept installer. The Synaptic method would be slightly different.
@ pir...@free.fr
Did you run follow the instructions on this page regarding the gpg key? Take a look at the first pictures. Please let me know if it is still not working, maybe you can help me to finally solve this as more people seem to experience the same problem. Can you open a new issue at http://code.google.com/p/winff/issues/list if it still doesn't work?
im having problems too

What version of Ubuntu are you running and which flavor of winff did you try to install, you may have chosen the wrong match?
Maybe you need to activate the hardy-updates or intrepid-updates in your package manager to get the updated version of libgtk2 and libpango.
I was having problems too, but by running this command WINFF was installed
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install winff
I have Ubu 8.10 64bits, and I hope it did not overwrite the flash installation since I spent a lot of time figuiring out how to install flash for 64 bits.
Thanks for the help
Symantic in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) has a bug that prevents Winff from showing up in "Quick search". Winff shows up fine if you click the "Seach" icon in Symantic first, and enter Winff in the subsequent window.
Details of the bug are <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/288797">here</a>.
Very very cool app. 10/10
when I try to install it it says: Error:Dependency is not satisfiable:libgtk2.0-0 can you help me please?
@K.B.Nieuwendijk
(Are you Dutch?) Please explain what version of Ubuntu you have and what version of winff you tried to install. It looks like you don't have the updates activated. Maybe you need to activate the hardy-updates or intrepid-updates in your package manager to get the updated version of libgtk2.
Hi,
I'm in the same situation than K.B.Nieuwendijk and hmnet1. How can I get the updated version of libgtk2 ?
Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2 Release: 8.04 Codename: hardy My version of libgtk2.0-0 is 2.12.9-3ubuntu5 And I did updates. Is it easily possible to get a version of libgtk2.0-0 >= 2.14.1 ? And the same with libpango1.0-0 >= 1.21.6 ?
Thanks ! (I'm french, may be, sorry for mistakes)

Hi,
is there a deb of winff compatible with Ubuntu Gutsy? tHx,
minopausa.
@minopausa, unfortunately not. WinFF can not be build on Gutsy because the compiler is not available and dependencies are to high.
@flor...@l214.com It looks like you try to install the WinFF version for Intrepid on your Hardy system. Please use the Hardy repository. I would not recommend upgrading the libgtk2.0-0 and libpango1.0-0 libraries. Please let me know if this does not solve your problem.
Mea Culpa. I just saw that I have a mistake in the script that provides the Package files. It leaves an old unsupported file. I will fix this problem tonight.
The problem with the wrong versions of WinFF for Hardy should now be solved. Maybe also users of intrepid experience an update now. Again, sorry for the mistake.
@poipodec...@hotmail.com Right ! Many thanks. I was to empress to test and didn't read the line "Of course you need to change intrepid to hardy or jaunty if you have that. (You can also just add the line to /etc/apt/sources.list .)" I did mechanical copy past.
Florent
I am a complete newbie with less than a weeks experience and I had no drama getting this installed and up and running...it is brilliant app and the instructions are easy to follow. I appreciate your effort in creating this and keeping the instructions simple, Thanks....Phil
Linux Mint 64? Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
E: Broken packages@Verlager,
Which version did you try to install (which repository) and what version of Ubuntu do you have? It looks like you need to install winff for a lower version of Ubuntu, e.g. hardy instead of intrepid, or similar.
excellent application, works perfect on my Ubuntu 9.04 , thank You biggmatt.
Great and easy application. I'm running ffmpeg on ubuntu on a remote server (EC2). Any plans to make a web based gui or command line? thanks in advance. rg
no, noplans for web based. There are already many php based scripts for ffmpeg
Hello, I'm having some problems installing the latest version of winff. I'm currently running Ubuntu Hardy (8.04.1) and I have the Medibuntu version of ffmpeg installed. I've downloaded the .deb package but when I tried to install it I receive the same "Error:Dependency is not satisfiable:libgtk2.0-0" message.
Any idea on how to solve the problem??
Thanks!
@ aatorrealba,
You downloaded the wrong .deb (it is not meant for Hardy). Please download the version for Hardy and replace the presets file with this one. Instructions about the replacement are here.
@poipodec
Thanks for your reply. Now I have winff 0.45 installed on my hardy machine. It's working without any problem so far.
Thanks!
@Juliocesar
Gracias men tu ayuda fue increible!!! me costo un pelo xq me salte cosas q no crei importantes pero al linal me lei todos los pasos y furulo todo al pelo!!!
Thanks men your help is great!!!
This Tool is very interesting.... but I 'd to know if is possible to convert a video on the fly, for example, a live streaming...
Many Thanks!
I have Ubuntu 9.04 (i think) and I installed the application using the synaptic package manager, right from the list, and added the extras that the description recommended and now it works perfect.. I'm very new to this operation system and that may explain my simplistic language haha. wawaweewa!
Hello. I followed all of your instructions am running hardy 8.04 and this is the errors I recieve even after reinstalling the gpg file?? GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783Failed to fetch http://winff.org/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release Unable to find expected entry universe/binary-lpia/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
@eward2695 Because the compiler needed for winff is not available for lpia in Launchpad I can not build the package for lpia. Sorry.
