transcode package for 19.04?

[catalyst1987]

Hello,
I am unable to find the transcode package at 19.04. Latest I can find it is at 18.04 but the version there requires libvacodec57 when 19.04 has libvacodec58. Will a transcode package be developed for 19.04 or will I have to find some way to downgrade?

Many Thanks!

transcode was removed from Ubuntu during the Cosmic (18.10) development period.
Reason: un-maintained and buggy.
Obviously it remains in releases prior to Cosmic. See bug report #1787222

I have no idea what transcode does, but ffmpeg, handbrake come to mind as ways to transcode video and audio codecs. If you just need audio, there are others, often specific to the desired output format, but ffmpeg usually does fine if you aren't too picky about almost 1-for-1 quality and file size isn't that important.

I've never heard of "transcode".
Why don't you use "Handbrake" ?
