I may be incorrect, and please let me know if I am, but if I read correctly, you don't have ffmpeg installed. And possibly mplayer if I read in there correctly. I would install those first. Let's see, you're on a Debian based system... so

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg mplayer


should do the trick.

If it says it can't find either one, do

Code: Select all

sudo apt-cache search ffmpeg
then

Code: Select all

sudo apt-cache search mplayer
If it can't find the correct package, then you may need to enable your multiverse repo. I haven't used Linux Mint since it was number 11, so I don't remember how I enabled the multiverse.

Thank you so much. No it did not work from the terminal commands, but I was able to find "ffmpeg" in the software center.

There was a difference when I tried right after of a new error "the Media cannot be played" but I found all I had to download "mencoder"

I also then had to install "mencoder" through the software center.

Works great now!keyint=5:vqscale=1:vqmin=2
