It would be awesome if this was included with Mint, but at least it was as easy to install as pressing install.
This is far too important to not be included straight away from Mint's OOTB experience, but hey they make it easy to install so whatever.
The best and fastest to manipulate the video stream quickly, to add sound or remove it. I use it mainly with the command line, it's the fastest, no waste of time with a graphic resource, really great. With this command line tool, I can add a sound track in a few seconds, divide the weight of a video just by choosing the right bitrate, put an image on a sound, remove the sound from a video, etc...
Excellent tool in all! It's powerful, light, ultra complete! The video viewer is the most efficient of all those I tested. It is much better than VLC and celluloide in terms of cpu and ram usage. Congratulations to the programmers of ffmpeg and libav!
powerful command line tool. The installation process is VERY easy here on linux mint.
ffmpeg is still a superior utility. Instead of libav, I downloaded & compiled from ffmpeg.org. Sorry, but hard to teach this old dog new tricks.
Will this program allow me to live stream audio and video over the Internet as a broadcaster?
Libav is a terrible substitute for the amazing ffmpeg package. Since ffmpeg was deprecated, I can't do much of anything with cross-platform video encoding, and DVD Styler crashes because it needs ffmpeg. Whoever thought this was a good idea has some serious delusions..
