For using open source transcoding with VIMP you have to install the necessary transcoding tools (MPlayer, mencoder, FFmpeg, etc).
Â
Debian uses the packet manager "apt" to install software. We first have to add the needed sources (repositories):
(we recommend using "joe" to edit the file)
touch /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-multimedia.org.list joe /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-multimedia.org.list
We add the following lines to the file debian-multimedia.org.list:
Â
# Debian Multimedia Repository
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free
deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free
Â
Then save the file (with joe, ctrl-k->ctrl-x) and install the keyring for the previously added repositories (if asked, enter "Y"):
Â
apt-get update
apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring
apt-get update
Â
apt-get install libimage-exiftool-perl ffmpeg
Â
apt-get install libimage-exiftool-perl
Â
apt-get install mplayer mencoder
Â
VIMP >=2.7 can use the included presets. If you use an older version, don´t forget to copy the FFmpeg presets to /usr/share/ffmpeg. You can download the presets here.
Note: Since VIMP 3.1.3 "Open Source HD transcoding" has been added to all VIMP editions. flvtool2 is not needed anymore.
