INSTRUCTIONS FOR UBUNTU 18.04 LTS
Ubuntu+Win compatible version was tested on Linux Ubuntu 18.04 using Wine 5.0 (WineHQ).
FFmpeg Batch performance is similar to a Windows installation, though interface is not perfectly cloned,
and some features are missing, like automatic shutdown. Application can fail if resolution is changed during execution.
Playonlinux does not seem to work well with FFmpeg Batch.
