Further question: Re: 3 questions, from a newby!

[Lorenzo Martinelli *]

Hello,

I am looking to replace an old Windows laptop with a (relatively) more 
recent box, on which I plan to run Mint Linux. So I installed Mint 14 
KDE on a virtual machine and tried using get_iplayer.

I know virtually nothing about linux

Using the helper script started get_iplayer and pointing firefox to 
127.0.0.1:1935 started the Web interface.

Great so far.

So the additional question is:

how can I have a single desktop shortcut that does both, just like on 
Windows?

And additionally, I am getting a warning that ffmpeg does not exist and 
the flv files are not getting converted.

How can I get them converted to mp4 automatically, just like the Windows 
version?

Thanks in advance!

Lorenzo
