easyconverter uses zenity as a front end for ffmpeg to transcode audio file file.
used it for converting mp3 files to ogg.
BUT i had to chang the file a litle to get better audio quality. NOTE one of the changes i made was "-aq 100"
and few other UGLY hacks and small work-arounds.
-------------------------------------------
" ./easyconverter.sh " almost worked for me but i did have to coment out a few line and edit some other lines to get it to work for me.
" Changes for my setup."
for i in *.$vanform; do ffmpeg -i $i -acodec "$formaat" -aq 100 "${i%.mp3}*new-out-file-foo.ogg" 2>&1 | zenity --progress --text="Converting: $i" --title="$titel" --auto-close --pulsate
echo $i gedaan
done
i all so commented out# the confirm #mapcheck= directory section because it was not working for me.
also note that it did not work for me on FILES with blank spaces like so ( 01 track mystify.mp3)
so i had to rename my files first
to something like ( 01_track_mystify.mp3).
It took some short work to debug easyconverter.sh to get things to work for my setup (vector-linux6 lite).

=============================
It's taking me a while to get use to Vector-Linux.
With debian enabling the debian multi media repo made installing video editing software kind of easy.
But doing video editing with Vector-Linux takes some work to install KDENLIVE and cinelerra but it can be done.
**********************************
video transcoder ffmpeg and video editor kdenlive
(build) (ffmpeg) and (kdenlive)
for vector-linux to install a custom build of ffmpeg i used

heres a how to do it VIDEO.
Part 1. Upgrading and packaging ffmpeg from a 3rd party SlackBuild.

direct link @ http://www.opensourcebistro.com/blog1/?p=268 it worked for me BUT i did not follow the TUT letter for letter. * I was not able to get slackbuild to install apps but it did a good job compiling the apps so i let it do that then i ran " make install " ass root. my new ffmpeg worked great but from time to tine updates kind of fouled it up so i reinstall it when that happens. so don't delete the source when your done make a backup and reinstall ffmpeg from that. update do break things from time to time when you install 3rd party apps. *********************************** video editor (cinelarra) verssion (cinelerra-20080527-i686-1as.tgz ) ( 3rd party) (binary) from .... http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.1/multimedia/cinelerra/20080527/ worked ok for me. but i did have to reinstall ffmpeg after installing cinelarra and i was not able to get my web cam to save mpeg file from cinelarra so i save my video as ms-avi's and that worked for me. NOTE recording my webcam from cinelarra the audio was all ways out of sync so thats why i use command line instead. command line apps are a lot more flexible to work with. *********************************** VOIP (skype) When i use Vector_Linux.....@$
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype " was needed for me to get my web cam to work with CAM programs like skype .

I cut and paste the ABOVE section from operas
"accessibility's . css "
NOTE:
and then placed it to my "/opt/user.css" directory because it's easier to find and edit on my system.
Then make shure to point opera at it.
GOTO ( view * style * manage mode * display )
and point it to your new css file.

now pagegs that use the (p) paragraph tag don't look as crapy.

browser (fud), it tooooook me fore ever to sign into
blogspot using opera today.
" i cleared the cache, then deleted overrides,
restarted , and used F5 but it still took a long time for opera and blogspot to start working again."
blogspot and opera are both starting to fall apart. opera still does a crappy job with the paragraph tap
and my "user.csss" is crap that barely works.
