conversion utilities file formats are very handy in many scenarios, but we often have to deal with a utility for each file type (one video, one for images, etc.), something that makes this process somewhat uncomfortable. Fortunately, we have options to unify all these conversion tasks, such as fantastic tool Multi-FF-Converter .

we discovered thanks to an email from Cristian Merlos, JMMING Hackers Group of El Salvador (Thanks Christian) and the truth is that the ability of FF-Multi-Converter is very interesting, although as the author explains the GitHub project page, is actually “only” a graphical interface or GUI utilities for various real to be combined and used as appropriate.

Thus, the famous uses ffmpeg for the conversion audio and video files , unoconv for the conversion of office documents) and the PIL library (Python Imaging Library) for the conversion of images.

Obviously

will need to install not only FF-Multi-Converter, but the profits of which makes use , and other agencies as python2 and PyQt4. For the conversion of office documents you need to install OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice, including the conversion functions used by the converter ONE unoconv.

can done through a PPA with the following commands

 sudo apt-add-repository ppa: ffmulticonverter / stablesudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install ffmulticonverter 

We leave you with some screenshots (also sent by Cristian) so you can check the look of that interface as useful for converting between file formats.
