[SOLVED] Mp4 Converter Needed

[Pinejoker]

I was wondering if what kind of mp4 software can use for my ubuntu hardy please someone give me some idea.. because i will convert my mpeg files to mp4.. to upload to my psp thank you in advance...

try ffmpeg. you will probably want a gui frontend (http://code.google.com/p/winff/) for it too.

ohh what is this sir? XD is this the converter?:confused:

family@family-desktop:~$ apt-get update
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the list directory

sudo apt-get install update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

you might want to use synaptic to look for a GUI frontend. Avidemux is my favourite

sudo apt-get install avidemux hopefully ffmpeg will be installed as a dependency

[Pinejoker]

i dont know whats wrong but can you check this...

when i used this sudo apt-get update

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[SuperSonic4]

It means something else is using the apt function. Is synaptic, updates or another apt-get in action at the moment?

its okay now but its said invalid operation for sudo apt-get ffmpeg

[SuperSonic4]

Oops I made a typo

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

[wolfen69]

its okay now but its said invalid operation for sudo apt-get ffmpeg

question i installed first this avidemux?:confused: you think there will be a problem?

[SuperSonic4]

No I don't see any problems there

[Pinejoker]

ok now my question since i have this software.. name Avidemux GTK+ how could i use it to convert mpeg to mp4? final sir.. thank u thank u just pls help me XD :):lolflag:

[SuperSonic4]

Just a quick question, do you have codecs installed already? You might need the ubuntu-restricted-extras

open Avidemux by pressing alt+f2 and typing Avidemux or using the launcher. Open the mpeg file in the obvious way.

Select MP4 in the format box on the left and leave audio/video as copy or change it depending on what you want (copying is easier IMO). Finally save it in the standard way

ohhh thank you its working Thumbs Up for you.. can you be the President of United States than Mcain or Obama hehehe joking.. ^_^ thank u again
