Arista Transcoder is a video converter for Linux that is the only one in existence that makes videos half the file size with no quality loss. When I use FFMPEG or ANY other converter on the same files, they end up even larger than the original... this program is a godsend.
But it's 10 years old now and doesn't work! When I download and compile from source (python) it just keeps telling me import error, no module named gobject
.
People online say do pip install gobject
, which I did, but the error persists. So I removed the line completely. Then it says the very next module doesn't exist. They all don't exist. I guess the package is too old and none of the dependencies are in the same place anymore in a modern Ubuntu install.
Please, anyone, how can we get this miracle software working again?
