+WinFF is a GUI for the command line video converter, FFMPEG. It will
+convert most any video file that FFmpeg will convert. WinFF does
+multiple files in multiple formats at one time. You can for example
+convert mpeg's, flv's, and mov's, all into avi's all at once.
+
+lazarus is just a build-time dependency.
+
+NOTE:
+If you have a previous ~/.winff directory you might want to
+remove it or your presets might not be updated.
+
+WinFF is no longer maintained by the original author.It is currently
+maintained by Debian maintainer Paul Gevers and the website winff.org
+has been hijacked see the following post for details.
+https://github.com/WinFF/winff/issues/250
+
+I've patched link for the FFmpeg Windows build website in the about
+section to point it to correct website as mentioned in the FFmpeg
+Website. see the following link for details.
+https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows
+
+The Launchpad link no longer works and i've patched it to
+point to the winff debian maintainer's [Paul Gevers] page.
+I've made sure other websites link to https version.
+
+There was also an issue with opening the documetation in slackware,
+The paths to the documetation is hardcoded in the source file.
+I've patched it to look in the /usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION folder
+
+The default pdf viewer is xpdf. It is hardcoded in the
+source file.If Xpdf is not present in the system it will
+not open pdf documentation.
