got it and it was so fucking simple once I read through the read me. Just get ffmulticonverter.gz, then in downloads extract here then you download dependencies like unoconv and python 3 and shit. Now cut and past the uncompressed folder to a location in home and then in the folder open subfolder share and copy ffmulticonverter .desktop to desktop and click. Program works with dependencies like a portable program not even having to install it.

I just converted a few files in 30 seconds flat. Don't use their window to add files since when I do ctrl A it only grabs the one file under the cursor but thunar with ctrl A drags them all to the add file area and then set your output codecs and file type, mine was MP4 and copy copy since I wasn't reencoding the video or audio just changing the file format shell the encodings are stored in.

I ended up with 28 files saving 20mb in space on the drive so it's working good now and MP4's are faster reading when skipping ahead its instant but with TS files it's a 2 to 3 second pause and with either format it's pause longer in VLC.

Using smplayer with MPV base it's like lightening fast.

Now if you have an nvidia card "anyone else without your knowledge NicotinicAcid you hit preferences, options then click the video tab and video tab then the output driver dropdown set to only VAPAU and the third down on the left for performance on the dropdown for hardware decoding choose again VDPAU, now no filters of it won't use hardware accelleration. Now this is for Linux installs of smplayer. Now for windows go with potplayer, awesome player used if for years in XP then hit windows 10 and immidiately learned to install linux mint since that frankenstein of are you sure windows 10 was like my kyptonite as in get as far away from this shit as possible and I mean shit.

The converter for deb to rpm and back is unmaintained and would not install and it's called Alien btw. Now there is nothing out there that does this.

There are so many great programs that need updated files like python and need the files that help install updated to the new updated support files since unless the original program was programmed only for a single version of python and it's not an install script it can be updated pretty fast by anyone with more knowledge than me.

I get the jist but don't have any formal computer education I just realize this and that are linked somehow and this script makes that part open when this piece is activated.

I wish I knew since my new hobby would be to update packages and then send and email to the original maintainer to either check my update and see if I missed anything and please sign it or takeover maintaining it myself.
