Openshot Video Editor 1.4.3-1.2 - How to stop it auto updating to v 2.43 etc in 18.04 LTS
Basically the latest version openshot qt increases file size and for no apparent advantage, I have a lot of 2 hour mp4 which were cut from 2-3 hour plus F1 downloads. The original files are mkv or mp4 at approx 8gb-12gb and using the old openshot 1.4.3-1.2 I am very happy with the small file size and quality at 720p 25fps using xlib264 and AAC which outputs 1.4gb file whereas the latest increases the file size to 3gb ??
So I uninstalled openshot qt and installed openshot_1.4.3-1.2_all.deb and and its missing dependencies and then works perfectly but Ubuntu 18.04 keeps uninstalling and installing the latest openshot qt - grrr. I used Synaptic Package Manager to mark this as locked but Ubuntu keeps updating openshot - grrr. All I want is to use the old openshot video editor without it auto updating to the latest version which doesnt always work with audio and increases file size !
