Installing tovid/Ubuntu
From Tovid Wiki
[edit] Installation
Tovid is in the Hardy repositories. If you have an older version, read below.
Note: There is a guide in the ubuntu forums that is good for beginners, as well as avid tovid-users, and shows you the basics on using tovid.
You will need to enable extra repositories to download some of the dependencies (only for edgy and older releases)
Grab the latest deb from here (Download the dapper deb if you have Dapper 6.06)
You do not need to individually hunt down dependencies, as the deb package installs them for you.
Save it somewhere convenient (e.g. /home/username/Desktop/ )
If you're using Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 or newer, just double click the package to open gdebi and install it. If you're using Kubuntu, then right click on the package in konqueror and select 'Kubuntu Package Menu' then click 'Install Package'. Provide user password when necessary.
Alternatively, you could fire up the terminal and go to the directory where the deb is saved:
$ cd /home/username/Desktop $ sudo dpkg -i tovid_[version].deb $ sudo apt-get -f install
To run tovid, please check out Using the tovid command-line or Using the tovid GUI
If the above methods do not work for you, you may have to install from the source tarball; follow the main instructions here: Installing tovid
[edit] Caveat
The ffmpeg from main repositories is likely crippled in some way. Notably, vhooks are broken, which are needed for todisc's *-quick-menu* option. You can compile it yourself easily though.
