Thank you Phyllis!

I really appreciate these getting committed, much appreciated! I will indeed wait for the changes and updated builds! You've made my New Year and it hasn't even started yet!

Best, Glen

Glen, if you wait until I check into GIT, the h264.mkv that Andrew created and h264.mov adapted from faststart...qt, then Andrey automatically creates new Debian+more packages with those render formats included.

Hi Andrey,

Wow, great stuff! I had no idea that these packages existed, that's amazing! Thank you for your work on this! I'm a bit unorthodox in that for packages that aren't in the regular Debian or MX Repos I usually put the newest or most reliable version packages on the ISO and unless there are major updates or bugs I don't really continuously maintain those things between ISO releases. Just building specialized ISOs with my own utilities and customizations takes more spare time than I have (I know we are all in the same boat in that regard) so for now if I could use your builds for major updates and ISO releases that would certainly be less clumsy than wrapping AppImages.

Thanks for your generosity!

Best, Glen

Hi Glen

For AV Linux I actually just take your AppImages and wrap them in a
Debian Package

You can take mine deb package from https://github.com/einhander/cin-gg-packages/releases
Or build a deb package yourself. It's easy.

The debian folder should be copied from blds folder to cinelerra-5.1

I use the following settings in rules file:

CONFFLAGS +="--with-opencv=sta,tar=http://my-internal.ip/opencv-20200306-f.tgz --enabl
e-libsvtav1 --with-onevpl"

Run debuild -us -uc to build

Best regards,
Andrey

just fine, I'll just adjust my launcher and work with it extracted for
now. For AV Linux I actually just take your AppImages and wrap them in a
Debian Package anyway because my ISO's are assembled one Deb at a time
and everything that goes in has to be in a Debian package format.
Perhaps a better method in general is to extract your AppImages and make
a hybrid package from the extracted AppImage. I'm aware that eLive also
does 'proper' Debian packages but I try to avoid outside Repos.. Anyway
I digress, my issue is solved for now and I'll wait and see if it makes
it into future builds.

Thanks so much again for the friendly response and the lightning-fast
solution!

Best, Glen

Hi Andrew, and thanks very much!

I'm working with the November 21 AppImage and I have extracted it and
I
assume in the AppImage the path would be
/squashfs-root/usr/bin/ffmpeg/video/? It seems so because I copied
your
file there and by running Cin from the extracted AppImage I
successfully
rendered a working MKV file with H.264+WAV! Is there a command I can
run
to re-compress the AppImage and get it back to it's binary form?

I usually used instructions from

https://download.cinelerra-gg.org/files/CinelerraGG_Manual/Build_CinGG_AppImage_from_s.html

*I think* you can just put pre-existing 'bin' folder (from previously
unpacked appimage) there
and it will be picked up by  bld_appimage.sh script.

Phyllis used  method with linuxdeploy, but I forgot where its upstream
was.

Thanks so much for your quick attention on this, I will wait for you
guys to decide if this is a future addition, in the meantime I have a
working solution to use!

Nice to hear from Phyllis and Sam too!

Best, Glen

Mov presets  live in ffmpeg/qt category, mostly.

Try  faststart_h264.qt (modify to taste) + s16le.qt/s32le.qt ?
