Please note that I've modified the system name of your package; wvt is too short.

scripts/build.properties still lack license notice; the images in src/site lack both license and copyright notices; please add them.

I'm approving your package; happy hacking!

Hi,

I’ve updated license and copyright informations.

For the icon files

  • src/main/resources/icons/48px-Video-x-generic.ico
  • src/main/resources/icons/48px-Video-x-generic.png


I’ve written a separated README file.

Thank you!

README.md lacks copyright notice; files like src/main/resources/os/gnulinux/deb/control/control src/main/resources/icons/48px-Video-x-generic.ico scripts/build.properties CHANGELOG.md lack
copyright and licensing notices; could you fix that?

Hi,

I’ve replaced InnoSetup by NSIS.

The link to the sources is still the same.

Thank you.

Sorry, I was professionally busy.

I’ll replace InnoSetup script part by a NSIS one this week end.

Thank you for your patience.

I think paragraph 2 of Inno Setup license (about retaining URLs in their places) is problematic.

I've never made distribution files for Windows, but Nullsoft Scriptable Install System may be usable for this task.

Hi,

No, Inno Setup is not required to run the program.

It is optional for building an installer for Windows users.

I thought that Inno Setup was free software, would you know a free alternative?

Thank you.

Inno Setup is proprietary software; does your package need to depend on it?

Registration Details


  • Name: Web Video Transcoder
  • System Name:  wvt
  • Type: non-GNU software and documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v3 or later





Description:

Web Video Transcoder is a cross-platform tool that uses FFmpeg to convert videos to open formats (WebM and Ogg).

It's a Java (swing) front-end to the ffmpeg executable.

Previously, I used (and recommended) the firefox plugin "firefogg", but this one will soon not be maintained any more.

Without being as complete as firefogg, Web Video Transcoder wants to be an alternative to the latter to convert videos to open formats.

I have developed Web Video Transcoder to help those who do not know the command line and therefore can not use ffmpeg directly.

It is particularly simple, with no complicated settings.


Other Software Required:
