BVideoconverter Guide
1. Install
(You maybe may skip this if you already have installed the Free Trial version,
but then you must make many settings and program installs manually if you want
everything to work as well as with the script install. You may anyway run the script.),
Download and run the bvcinst.sh bash script,
to make all the repository settings and the mirror settings for Linux Mint,
that worked for me automatically and it installs also the bvideoconverter and
also other programs needed for you to work effectively and smoothly, you may later
change the main mirror settings back the way you want if they changed just as long you don´t remove the repo.bittiainen.com which shows in e.g. Synaptic as Bittiainen .
The script and always the the latest .deb are in https://repo.bittiainen.com .
Just make e.g. in File browser from the file´s properties it to be permitted to run as a program or
in terminal chmod +x bvcinst.sh and then
in terminal give the command: sudo ./bvcinst.sh
and press Enter , or just copy that command from here and paste it in terminal and press Enter.
If you don´t use the install script the https://repo.bittiainen.com must be added to the
e.g. with the Synaptic package manager to Additional Program sources manually, or
you might not get the updates automatically, You can do it with the help of adding bvideoconverter.list file from https://repo.bittiainen.com
Or just download the latest bvideoconverter .deb from
https://repo.bittiainen.com from under /pool/b/bvideoconverter subdirectory
and install it manually you might install it easiest with GDebi graphical installer or just
any way you are used to but I recommend you will then make the settings manually and
install manually the additional software you might use if you already don´t have them,
additional help with that is in the BVideoconverter menu choices, if it spots that
you don´t have the program that you are trying to use.
You can also install all the missing additional programs manually afterwards any way you can,
BVideoconverter don´t care how they are installed just that they are installed, or you can use
other programs too for the purposes, but then you have to start them directly
from OS´s program icons or command line since they probably don´t start from Bvideoconverter´s menu choices.
2. Help functions and Buying license PRO and importing the license file
In latest Free Trial version there will be a grey-scale like desaturated color in videos but NO watermarks ,
after importing the bought license file from the Help menu choice Import License File,
the next converted videos will not anymore have watermarks (be aware not to convert
the already watermarked files, because the old watermarks can not be removed).
The licenses can be bought from: https://bittiainen.com
With the PRO license you can use all functions also the Batch mode to convert several
videos at one go.
And this webpage can be also opened from the Help menu choice : Help from the web .
In Help menu there are also the EULA license for end users, the same you accepted when starting to use the program, and a Help text and Upgrade to Pro (same as to buy a PRO license)
and About and Credits and Support Project.
