Presets

This board is for posting presets and discussion of them.

Please do not post other problems here. This forum is just for developing presets.

I have used WinFF often in the past to convert videos for viewing on my iPod.  Nothing was easier.
The versions of WinFF I found on the website and through my distro (Kubuntu 10.04) do not seem to have any iPod presets!?  The closest I find are Rockbox presets and those don't seem to work for vanilla iPod.  Either the 30g video iPod or the 5g ipod nano.

I've been searching the internet for over an hour now and haven't found a "Preset command line" that will work.  I'll keep looking and even craft my own iPod lines if I have to, but why in the world would the Presets for one of the most widely distributed players be removed?

because the ffmpeg for ubuntu is cut down.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've gone through several hours of tinkering now, following several how-tos on different posts, including the one linked above, and installing from different repos.  I understand that you are not responsible for this brokenness.  Massively frustrating though.  I may just look for a distro with a functional winff/ffmpeg.  Kubuntu seems to restricted and foreign.

Hi
I just installed a new ffmpeg on Ubuntu. I expect the method is the same for Kubuntu.
I followed the instructions here:-http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095&highlight=Upgrading+FFmpeg+x264

Afterwards get WinFF using the ppa.

This worked for me, and then I used the preset . . .

Code:

-acodec libfaac -aq 100 -ac 2 -vcodec libx264 -vpre slow -vpre ipod640 -crf 26 -map_meta_data 0:0 -vf scale=640:-1 -threads 0

This worked on my 30g black video ipod
