It is a bit complex but extremely powerful. The easiest to use is Handbrake but avi support is nil even though it says it handles them The need for standalone players to support MKV x264 is needed and they are out there but expensive h264 in the mkv container is the best format yet Oh for my old win software Dvdfab platinum but getting it to run correctly through wine leaves something to be desired Cheers -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
