Thanks for all this info, I am still using an old version of transcode on
an older machine that I hold back for compatibility.
Does anybody have the following:
- hints on compiling transcode on a recent linux, which exact versions
of libavcodec work etc?
- issues of avconv vs ffmpeg
- has anybody made a docker container of a working transcode instance?
Thanks,
Simon

|Thanks, Jörn -- that's great you can keep the wiki and maillist up and running.

|I'm seeing from the link in Debian's transcode page that the code is now here:
|
| https://bitbucket.org/france/transcode-tcforge
|
|It seems to be intact and even occasionally maintained. Both the 1.0 branch
(which I still

mercurial.
|
|1.1.7 was imported into Debian's git,
|http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/transcode.git -- but I'm not
seeing 1.0.
|

called transcode

|Hi David,
|
|thanks for your response. I just changed my mind ;) I gave reactivating
|the Wiki a quick try by installing a static build of an older Perl
|version and yes: it runs.
|
|In fact I did this mainly because I wanted to check if the source code
|is hosted there at all. And the bad news are: no, there a just links to
|the dead berlios site.
|
|So we don't have any "official" tarball yet I could place on github.
|
|Probably I should clarify at that point that I am no transcode
|developer. Some years ago I just took over the services to my host, to
|keep the project alive. So I am not in the first line of responsibility
|to put any code on github. But of course I would do so, if no one of the
|"true" transcode developers rise their hands here ;)
|
|Of course the transcode source is out there. For example we could use
|the Debian source tarballs or ask the Debian mantainers what's best to
|do here e.g. what's their source. So we have some options.
|
|For now I keep the Wiki up and let's see what happens. Of course we
|should find a final solution, because the current state is unsatisfactory.

|Hi Jörn,
|
|Thank you for keeping us posted. I see the source tarballs and cvs are
|hosted on transcode.org. The linked "support site" at
|http://tcforge.berlios.de/ is down or gone.
|
|Would you be open to putting the code on github? It would be nice to see
|it in your name to vouch for the continuity of the project.
|
|I still use transcode in production; it does a better job on some tasks
|than anything else available.
|
|Cheers,
|David

|Hi folks,
|
|long time no see ;)
|
|Today I upgraded the server which runs the transcode Wiki and
|unfortunately it stopped working due to incompatiblities with a newer
|Perl version shipped with Debian Jessie.
|
|Currently I am not planning to invest time into fixing this issue since
|this project is somewhat "dead".
|
|If there is anyone here interested in hosting the Wiki and the other
|services (e.g. this mailing list), please contact me. Otherwise I will
|switch off them at some time in the future completely, including the
|transcoding.org domain.
