Manou Chen of Open.Amsterdam (video interview)

09-25-2008 01:00 PM
Open.Amsterdam (in Dutch; English PDF download available here) is working to convert most of the city of Amsterdam's computers to GNU/Linux and open source software, and to make sure that any remaining proprietary-OS computers owned by the city use open file formats instead of closed, proprietary ones. In this interview, project director Manuo Chen tells us how the project is going and a little about its goals -- and a little about some of the pitfalls it has encountered, too.

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 AUTHOR
