Meh, seems like a lot of extra futzing and the extracted AppImage works
just fine, I'll just adjust my launcher and work with it extracted for
now. For AV Linux I actually just take your AppImages and wrap them in a
Debian Package anyway because my ISO's are assembled one Deb at a time
and everything that goes in has to be in a Debian package format.
Perhaps a better method in general is to extract your AppImages and make
a hybrid package from the extracted AppImage. I'm aware that eLive also
does 'proper' Debian packages but I try to avoid outside Repos.. Anyway
I digress, my issue is solved for now and I'll wait and see if it makes
it into future builds.
Thanks so much again for the friendly response and the lightning-fast
solution!
Best, Glen

Hi Andrew, and thanks very much!
I'm working with the November 21 AppImage and I have extracted it and
I
assume in the AppImage the path would be
/squashfs-root/usr/bin/ffmpeg/video/? It seems so because I copied
your
file there and by running Cin from the extracted AppImage I
successfully
rendered a working MKV file with H.264+WAV! Is there a command I can
run
to re-compress the AppImage and get it back to it's binary form?
I usually used instructions from
https://download.cinelerra-gg.org/files/CinelerraGG_Manual/Build_CinGG_AppImage_from_s.html
*I think* you can just put pre-existing 'bin' folder (from previously
unpacked appimage) there
and it will be picked up by bld_appimage.sh script.
Phyllis used method with linuxdeploy, but I forgot where its upstream
was.

Thanks so much for your quick attention on this, I will wait for you
guys to decide if this is a future addition, in the meantime I have a
working solution to use!
Nice to hear from Phyllis and Sam too!
Best, Glen
