Not all the original presets that come with WinFF work with the Debian or Ubuntu version of ffmpeg as-is. Therefore, a filtered and modified version is provided by default. The original presets are still provided in /usr/share/winff/presets-orig.xml and can be loaded into the program. In order to use all the formats in the current presets, you need to have libavcodec-extra-## installed. Due to license issues with libfaac it is replaced by libvo_aacenc in the default presets. If you want to use the libfaac version, install presets-orig.xml as mentioned above. For you convenience other versions of the presets are provided in /usr/share/winff/ and should replace or be merged with your ~/.winff/presets.xml (and /usr/share/winff/presets.xml for system wide update). Unfortunately the API of ffmpeg changes once in a while, so you will have to check which version of libavcodec you have. The other presets files are named after the supported libavcodec. -- Paul Gevers , Tue, 29 May 2012 22:31:18 +0200
