Hi!
I just found "transcode" to be missing from devuan beowulf. Aparently it was
missing in ascii, also, but I just have not noticed. Is there a drop-in replacement?
Transcode's upstream has been dead for a long time, so it isn't surprising that
your distro no
longer packages it. If you want to build it yourself, the source and patches that will
allow it
to compile against modern ffmpeg are available from Gentoo:
https://gentoo.osuosl.org/distfiles/transcode-1.1.7.tar.bz2
https://gentoo.osuosl.org/distfiles/transcode-1.1.7-patchset.tar.bz2
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gentoo/gentoo/master/media-video/transcod…
Unless someone has done work on k3b that I'm not aware of, I doubt there's a
drop-in
replacement, although ffmpeg and mplayer's mencoder, among others, should cover the
same functionality.
Do we need to adopt this lib (or did we do so already and I didn't notice?)
