Bug#1050550: RFA: winff -- graphical video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg or avconv
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: winff@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:winff
I request an adopter for the winff package. WinFF was the first
package I created for Debian and it has been a fun ride those 15
years. Nowadays I focus more on QA and Release Team work and am less
interested in maintaining packages (particular as I'm not using it
myself).
The main upstream developer has stopped development. I still have full
access to the upstream github instance so I can also help setup people
that want to take over upstream development (or maintenance).
The package description is:
WinFF is a graphical user interface for FFmpeg or avconv. It will convert
almost any video file that FFmpeg or avconv will convert. WinFF does multiple
files in multiple formats at one time. You can, for example, convert
mpeg's, flv's, and mov's into avi's (or DVD/VCD format or MPEG or 3gp
etc.) all at once.
.
WinFF provides a variety of preset conversion settings for
common formats and devices. These presets are intended to hit the
"sweet spot" for each individual codec. They have been written with a
tip of the balance to quality.
.
For most presets to work, it is necessary to have the unstripped version
of the libavcodec package, which can be obtained by installing
libavcodec-extra as suggested by the WinFF suite. It might be necessary
to enable additional repositories to find that package.
