An oral history of LinuxCabal (video)
Sat, 12 Jan 2008 14:00:00 GMT
In today's world of corporatized GNU/Linux and FOSS, it's easy to forget that Linux was originally "marketed" by decidedly non-mainstream people, many of whom are now ignored or forgotten. Richard Couture (check this old bio page for him) is one of the more colorful members of that elite group. He co-founded LinuxCabal in San Francisco in 1996 and moved it -- and himself -- to Guadalajara (Mexico) in 2005, where LinuxCabal is once again a notable force in grassroots Linux evangelism. But that's enough talk from us. Richard tells the story better than we do, which is why we were pleased to get him to talk into the Linux.com video camera between sessions at the 6ยบ. Festival GNU/Linux y Software Libre, held in Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) in November 2007.

winff

WINFF(1)																  WINFF(1)

NAME

       winff - video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg

SYNOPSIS

       winff

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the winff command. This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation pdf format; see below.

       WinFF is a graphical user interface for the command line video converter ffmpeg. It runs ffmpeg from the command line. So, you just pick
       your files and it does the rest.

       WinFF doesn't actually convert any video files. It just runs ffmpeg. Therefore, It will convert any video file that ffmpeg will convert.
       Conversely, if ffmpeg will not convert the file, then WinFF will not either.

SEE ALSO

       For more details, you should have a look at the pdf manual, available at /usr/share/doc/winff/winff.pdf
