Hello Bhavani I put locate winff in a terminal and i located it on the desktop and this is what was in it when I opened it......
echo #WinFF >> /etc/apt/sources.list && echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu hardy main >> /etc/apt/sources.list && echo deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu hardy main >> /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update && apt-get install winff

okay here it goes

first edit your sources.list

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

add the below lines there

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu hardy main

and save the file

then do

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get install winff

WinFF is a GUI for the command line video converter, FFMPEG. It will convert most any video file that FFmpeg will convert. WinFF does multiple files in multiple formats at one time. You can for example convert mpeg's, flv's, and mov's, all into avi's all at once. WinFF is available for Windows 95, 98 , ME, NT, XP, VISTA, and Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat based GNU/Linux distributions. WinFF is available in Brazillian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Chinese Tradditional, Danish, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish.

I cannot see any winff into ufficial Ubuntu repositories, so you i think you must add a ppa (Personal Package Archive) repository row to your /etc/apt/sources.list file as showed from author site http://code.google.com/p/winff/

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

If you are using the latest Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid ibex" add at the end of file as standalone row:

# Repository ppa for winff please see http://code.google.com/p/winff/
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu intrepid main

If you are using Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" add at the end:

# Repository ppa for winff please see http://code.google.com/p/winff/
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-climbing/ubuntu hardy main

Save and exit, then type:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
sudo apt-get install winff

You will be warned you are about to install no verified software, (ppa repository don't provide any gpg key):

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  winff
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y

so confirm with Y

After you will find winff under Applications → Sound & Video, Gnome menu

Hope this helps
