  1. i cant transcode to 3gp because it needs a quicktime muxer plugin any help will be appreciated…

      1. same problem here tooo
        i am using ubuntu 10.04 on inspiron n5010
        any help will bw highly appreciated

  2. on ubuntu 10.10 Transmageddon didnot correctly convert *.ts (mpeg2) files to avi (xvid). it converts only video, but without sound track. so I use winFF which works correctly in this case.

  3. Unfortunately, the transmageddon 0.15 that is on Lucid 10.04 does not work. 

    Choosing an  .flv file as Input File, and then choosing

    Presets: No Presets
    Output Format: MPEG PS
    Audio Codec: AC3
    Video Codec: MPEG2
    and “No rotation”

    and then pressing “Transcode”, results in … absolutely *nothing*. A ps aux indicates a sleeping process (“S”), nothing else.

    While not the first “free” application that does not work in Ubuntu,but this one has *absolutely no documentation whatsoever*, not to mention any debugging tools…

    Someone’s very bad joke, methinks. What a shame.
