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 https://repo.bittiainen.com.

 

The script and the latest .deb are in https://repo.bittiainen.com and also in

https://github.com/mikkosilvfi-cryptob/bvideoconverter/releases/latest

 

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,

 

Or just download the latest bvideoconverter .deb from

https://repo.bittiainen.com or

from https://github.com/mikkosilvfi-cryptob/bvideoconverter/releases/latest

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 Free Trial version there will be watermarks in converted videos,

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 previous STD license or in Free Trial you can use all the single mode functions,

videos converted with Free Trial have watermarks.

With the PRO license you can use all functions also the Batch mode to convert several

videos at one go.

 

These helpful articles can be found from BVideoconverter Guide menu in https://bittiainen.com .

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.

Then just choose output video format add input video or in batch mode also several videos or a directory and add the output video/directory and

set the other settings for video quality and bitrate from the menu or by using the sliders

and possibly check on/off the 4K screen mode checkbox then

then just watch the Conversion progress bar/bars , in Batch mode there is also other relevant

settings you can adjust, there are also functions for subtitles and thumbnails use them as you need,

there are also menu choices for video editor Kdenlive in Menu and some other settings in

the Settings like GUI language and some others and video players and playing videos,

if needed additional external programs are installed they all work from the menu choices, like

also the Video capture functions.

For input format all the above and also the Sony DSC-WX500 camera´s MTS format,

and you might even get your logo here as supported devices.
