Converting videos: WinFF 0.41

, , , ...

I looked for such a tiny tool like WinFF. WinFF is a simple GUI for FFMPEG to convert various types of video files (AVI, Quicktime, Flash Video, MPEG) from one into another format. WinFF 0.41 is a bugfix release, all changes can be found in the release log.
If you are using Ubuntu Linux you can download a Deb archive too.

XnView 1.92

, , , ...

The new release of
XnView 1.92 is available. Improved features, more supported file formats and bugfixes, all in detail can be read here.
It is a Windows application (the Linux version is outdated and got a ugly GUI) but with some tweaks and a actual release of Wine it runs perfect on Linux too. There are some tweaks for let it running smooth:
* tell XnView in the options (F12) to use the registry for store settings (if not any settings get lost after closing XnView)
* change the ugly Win95 colors of Wine by running the Wine registry editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors and setup the colors you like. You can tweak the GUI to give it the look of your desktop.
