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.
Can ignore my last comment, looks like you've already solved it.
Good info about the video playback with Nvidia, I'll remember that. I normally use VLC for playback and it's been handling everything I've thrown at it.
Thing is SMPlayer doesn't have a boomerang move back when using the mouse wheel to move forward it jumps then moves back likely from to many filters and programs running at once. I used to like VLC but it's become a behemouth in the past few years. In SMPlayer you can ff an entire video to the 25 minute mark in 15 seconds but VLC is jump ahead slide back to it's more like over a minute resisting the user the entire time and mouse clicks can be worse click 10 minutes then jumping back 8 of that.
On Facebook the administrator on the XFCE group said SMPlayer was his go to also since he liked the responsiveness of SMPLayer also and this is the guy that runs the site Fossbytes so he's seen a lot of players. Heck I use SMPlayer for my audio player also and in a folder do ctrl A "select all" then right click and choose enqueue in SMPlayer and it loads the playlist up and plays it in the order it's in Thunar for me.
I have to admit I wish I'd save some cash and just done an Intel 6 or 8 core CPU with onboard video instead. If I'd known Nvidia was using this shitty blob driver setup I would have just skipped AMD altogether.
One great thing is the cards used I paid $200 for are now going for around $500 used and mines still mint never overclocked so I put a $400 price tag on it and then put my 1030 it the case instead, not a gamer so not a sacrifice in any way and a $200 profit so I could trade my motherboard "great for windows" my ryzen 2600 and 64gb ddr4 of ram. Then I could get a nice motherboard ram cpu Intel onboard graphics setup that runs smoother since my old Dell runs smoother than this current setup in linux but AMD is still slacking like a mother fucker on their support and the motherboards are not what I'd call even trying to be linux fully compatible but instead fair on the compatibility side.
