[FFmpeg-user] Testing my old version: "What's wrong w/ this command?" FFmpeg version SVN-r0.5.1-4:0.5.1-1ubuntu1.3, (PART_3)

[maujhsn]

Lou I am using  a more recent version of ffmpeg! However...back to the
topic. Some time ago I downloaded an '.iso' from the internet. It is part
of the "Debian Live series." Some called the package "lenny" anyway, ffmpeg
is bundle in such a way that certain
commands should work regardless how old the version is! I have taken your
suggestion under advisement & when I fire up the CD I hope that your
suggestion works. I'll keep you posted in due time. Thanks!
