Description: Konverter is an easy to use but powerfull KDE video conversion tool. It helps to convert almost every videofile into the most common different videoformats and codecs. Beside converting, Konverter is also able to scale/crop your videos, change codec details or just changes the audio format of your file. Also other features like splitting and concat videos, integrated realtime preview are included.Last changelog:
0.93 ----- major code cleanup, lavc multipass, many bugfixes, new xine-backend, better KDe integration
First, is this project being actively developed anymore? Looks to me like it isn't. It's a shame since it had great potential. But, anyway.
When I compile from the "latest" ( 0.93 ) source tarball by either starting up Kdevelop and loading the included project file, or just by doing 'make ; sudo make install ' , typing 'konverter' on the command line results in this strange error message :
"
konverter: /opt/Xilinx/10.1/ISE/lib/lin/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by konverter)
"
Yes, I have the Xilinx tools installed, but what the heck does that have to do with Konverter? Also, no icon is installed on the desktop or entry added to the Kicker menu whether building and installing via make or Kdevelop.
Hello this app is just what I was looking for. But it crashes on ubuntu dapper opening a source file, exactly on line 353 of /src/GUI/Controller/konverterdialog.cpp
getOpenFileName function, I tried to fix it but my knowledge is very limited so I couldn't :___(
See you!
It crashes for me in ubuntu (feisty) when I click to browse for the source file as well. A way around this is to simply specify the location of the source file without browsing for it (easy enough).
Great program!
Konverter sounds really great and I like it already but can't use it :p... it crashes as soon as I click on the "browse input file" button; if I copy the link in the blank, I get "can't find file" :'(.
I actually took the debian package, I'm on Kubuntu kernel 2.6.12.
Thx...
I have the same problem.

This looks very cool. Have you considered adding dvd ripping capability to this?
I was thinking of making a similar app to dvd::rip for kde, and you're just missing the dvd feature right now
Infact. No help to compile. I tryed:
qmake && make
and I've got a log list of errors on my Slackware. Why people create application not in the standard rules?
It may be not your fault, but memcoder
returns an error. Some info about the
correct version of memcoder would beee
appreciated.
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3 /Data2/Studio/athletic.mpg -o /home/paai/
I've just downloaded and installed konverter onto my debian sid box. Runs very well and is good as it is based on mencoder.
BTW, there's another "KDE mencoder" project called kmenc15. I think it's not as mature as konverter, but maybe you would like to join efforts together to get a even better app :)
Keep the good work
can this program do more then one file at once ?
as in add files to some kind of playlist and then do the files automatically to a designated file format. This would be great in the case of dvd authoring
Hi,
great software - looks good. Two questions:
While concat two avi-files, I get the error:
************************************
Error: Failed to run avimerge.
Check if transcode is installed and in your PATH.
************************************
Whats that ??
And i wonder, can the program merge mpegs ?????? THAT would be great!
Best
BJ
Great app, man, it's done the job for me properly everytime for a couple versions now. Well, curiosity has gotten the best of me....
I notice while running gmake the flag "-mtune=pentiumpro" running on each command... Now, I'm familiar with Linux as a user, so humor me here - can I change this directly or indirectly to optimize the build for my Athlon XP 2400?
Thanks for your hard work on this app!!!
Klear and kafeine will save mpeg-ps files to the hard drive when viiewing with dvb-t card.
However, I am at a loss as to what to do in konvert to create a dvd. What format does the mpeg-ps file need to be converted to?
Any pointer would be most appreciiated.
Using konverter-0.7 and selecting MPEG1 format for output, succuessfully convert avi files recorded using my Fuji F700.
k3b-0.12.1 identifies these correctly as vcd-compliant, and I burn a vcd.
vcd plays on my panasonic dvd-rv32.
However, using konverter-0.93 (built under slackware with the notes listed in the above comments), I cannot create a vcd-compliant video file, using the same source.
I have tried using mpeg-1 format and tried all the available audio formats.
no dice: k3b-0.12.1 does not recognize the file as MPEG1 or MPEG2 compliant.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
How has the implementation of MPEG1 format changed from 0.7 to 0.93?
Thanks!
you've hardcoded /usr/share/qt3 as qt path.
in slackware i have to edit the Makefile and change /usr/share/qt3 to /usr/lib/qt so that i can run make afterwards.
thanks anyways.

Thank you very much for this application, it's what I was looking for!
FYI, Gentoo's ebuild is called media-video/konverter :)

How is is built?

i can't buil this app on Slackware.... it need a configure script
I need help installing this. I downloaded but there's no install directions. :)

I see that the filename of the outputfile has been dropped in my cut-and-paste. nevertheless, it doesnt work.

Hi, the new 0.93 package does not contains configure script, how to compile the software ?

It would be nice if this was released with at least a configure script :)

Don't find a configure file needed to create a RPM for Suse 9.3. Help
