I have installed ffmpeg but I can't find it in any of the menus or the executable in the file system. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I believe the software is for the command line and doesn't have a gui.

I have it installed as well, doesn't show in the menu here either.

Code: Select all

locate ffmpeg

in the terminal will find it... the executable is usually in /usr/bin/

There are several GUI-frontends available, though, like winff and others,
that will show up in the menues, when installed.

That's all very interesting. When I install ffmpeg with Linux Mint it shows up in the Sound & Video menu. I installed winff and it now shows up in the menu. I guess that's the difference between Ubuntu/Mint and Debian/MX Linux. Thanks everyone for all your help!
