Setting FF Multi Converter

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ffmulticonverter/stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmulticonverter

But the program to work, you must install ffmpeg
ffmpeg and x264 codec so I installed

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg x264

After installation, you will find FF Multi Converter programs multimedia.
It works very well and is very simple.
Yes, of course, hard disk space it requires quite a lot.

resurrecting this as i've just tried to install this & got :
~$ sudo apt-get install ffmulticonverter
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree     
Reading state information... Done
Package ffmulticonverter is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'ffmulticonverter' has no installation candidate

looking about on the forum it looks like this is no longer avaiable. from this thread;  https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/insta.../#msg29670
i'm trying winff instead. i'm tyring to convert mp3 to wav. winff doesn't look like the answer.

Hello pingball57,

you can convert using VLC player which is already installed in Linux Lite.

There is a tutorial for doing this by GUI, or the Command Line here - https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:..._HowTo_New

But you will see the tutorial does not cover mp3 to wav, so we can write one here  -

1/ Open VLC
2/ Click in the left top Menu  Media>Convert/Save
3/ Click Add in the GUI, browse to your mp3 file.
4/ Click Convert/Save at base of GUI
5/ Central in Convert GUI it Reads "Profile" and has a window of text click this and select MP3
6/ To the right of this click the icon of Screwdriver/spanner
7/ tick the radio button of WAV
8/ click Save button
9/ type in a name to the "Destination text entry box"
10/ click start button

If you need screenshots/visual tutorial let me know in reply and I can do this with drawn highlighted boxes and numbers to match with the instructions.

The tool you need is ffmpeg. Open synaptic in LL and install it, If you already installed audacity the tool is there by default.
