Hi All,
Toby, thanks for that suggestion (below). However...
Would like to try aconv, but don't have it installed. Tried searching for it using Synaptic Package Manager, and found nothing. Have got lots of repositories added to my system, including all the ones recommended by MediBuntu.
That is possibly because avconv is but one binary in the libav suite. Look at libav.org, or do git clone git://git.libav.org/libav.git libav or get one of the tar'd releases and compile it.
On Ubuntu, avconv is packaged inside the libav-tools package. Although I don't know if you'll have that on a four-year-old distribution.. might be in backports somewhere?
