Comments on How to easily convert your videos on Linux
There are many ways to convert a video file on a Linux system, but using a tool with a graphical user interface is imperative for those who want to do it easily and in a more user friendly way. Thankfully, there are many open source GUI tools that could do the job just fine and you can find some specialization here and there if you look closely.

Handbrake is more of a DVD converter rather than a general video converter. It is the best in the market for handling stuff like chapters, subtitles, etc.
Personally, I prefer curlew. It's faster, gives the user a very wide choice of formats and it's much more easier to use. Handbrake seems too limited for my needs.
All I want is one-button/one-command AVI-to-MP4 without a lot of tinkering. I want to watch it on my Linux Mint desktop or 'droid phone/tablet or share with others.
I'm not a video-phile. I shoot some video with my phone or DSLR. I also get AVI files from win-doze colleagues. I'm not making fine furniture. I'm cutting firewood.
Thank you for this valuable information. This will help me greatly with my current situation. But there is a little problem when I use handbrake to convert a video to mp4 it doesn’t keep the audio. Any thoughts on what else I could check to fix this. I used to convert video with Acethinker Video Converter, never had that problem.
H!, I dont wish to be rude but for those whom are not so used to use the terminal there is a small fault in installation you should mention that to add the apt you have to go to to the programs and updates and add it from the second leaf (other software) and paste it from the add down left at least thats what I had to do on my Xubuntu...Then you can do the update and installation from the terminal...
