Nice tool,
but is there something similar to convert AUDIO files? For example from mp3 to aac? SoundConvert is a mess, because one cannot configure AAC profiles and bitrates as I want to.
Thanks buddy .. My special thanks to that person who created it.. Can i have its source code plzzzzzzzz…
Mesmo com a versão 0.0.11.4 instalada, quando inicio o programa mostra mensagem:
“New PyTube version available”. Site oficial fora do ar e agora?
well, same message here. And, if you try to convert to .3gp nothing happens (OS : Ibex). Seems to be the missing ffmpeg in the medibuntu repo….
Any solutions about this?
Erik
Hey guys no problems on install or repos here..but I am getting empty files on reported succesful completion of encoding..please help. Doesnt seem to matter what I am encoding to or from.
Appreciate any help
Nigel
Like the others, I found that even though all the dependencies were satisfied, I could not encode to mp4 or 3gp. I then tried the Theora format, and success, but it seems very slow and there’s no indication of how long it may take, or even where you are in the encoding process!
Point of this post however is to highlight what to me is the utterly stupid placement and shoddy implementation of the “Delete Original File” tab – clicking anywhere (accidently, in my case!) on the entire row its tab occupies in the menu, activates it! Worse, the file is deleted permanently, without comment, instead of being moved to the Wastebasket, so there’s no way of undoing the mistake!! It has just deleted over 200meg of a video I had just downloaded!
Stupid, stupid, stupid…
From youtube converted to anything, it processes the file is 0 bytes.
Also, although the text indicates that Google videos are supported, it immediately goes to “Done” even though nothing has been created.
