33 <application>Transcode</application> was a fast, versatile and
34 command-line based audio/video everything to everything converter
35 primarily focused on producing AVI video files with MP3 audio,
36 but also including a program to read all the video and audio streams
37 from a DVD.

165 The details of how the <application>FFmpeg</application> libraries
166 are used has changed since this version of
167 <application>Transcode</application> was released. The patch allows the
168 package to be compiled, but some or all of the internal calls to
169 <application>FFmpeg</application> may fail at run time (they report an error
170 and processing continues, but without any output).
171 </para>
172
173 <para>
174 For many packages, that would be a critical error. In this case,
175 the main reason to install <application>Transcode</application> is for
176 the <command>tccat</command> program, which works. Some of the
177 <command>transcode</command> options work - for the others, use
178 <command>ffmpeg</command> directly on the command line.
