ffmpeg, takes 10 minutes to learn and you'll likely never need anything else. It's what handbrake, blender, etc use under the hood
Handbrake, ffmpeg. If they cant do it, I don't need it done.
Basically everything worth using is just a wrapper for FFMPEG these days, so they all perform the same, just with different interfaces. So Handbrake will always be the go-to for the basics, but if you are looking for automation and custom processing based on rules you set out, then FileFlows is worth playing with
Or just straight up terminal. Automating things is so much easier that way.
Sure, but something tells me the kinds of people who use software like Wondershare and Aiseesoft video converters arent going to be writing their own FFMPEG automations in batch files or bash scripts.
And in the darkness Handbrake them.
tdarr uses ffmpeg and handbrake and a few other tools combined into one easier to use web interface
Handbrake Kdenlive LosslessCut
Shutter Encoder is a nice gui for ffmpeg along with some other features. If you look in the logging you can even get all the flags it sends to ffmpeg and recreate it yourself including the hardware acceleration. Got it after I couldn’t remember SUPER which I used to use.
Shutter is a really nice front-end for ffmpeg but can you put in custom resolutions or do you have to work with what they have? Also, how do you set it to pick up soft subs and hard code them into the video? Also, it's so nice to find a piece of software that will FINALLY use my GPU! :)
Yes you can do custom resolutions, it’s on the top right. You can chose source, scale to a specific res, or fix H/W and it’ll calculate the other.
There’s a section for Add subtitles as well. You’d have to play around with it some, I don’t know all the ins and outs.
Hey Thanks for the response! I think I figured out some of the resolution stuff but I can't seem to get a VGA resolution (640x480). I set Force Display to 4:3 but the resolution doesn't show up.
Yeah, I saw the add subs but I can't seem to get it handle subs already in the vid file like ASS subs I want to Hardcode into the video.
I'm gonna keep working with it though as it seems to do most everything else I want. Pretty amazing software!
You could look in to tdarr, it can do pretty much everything and has a web based GUI
You seem to be not comfortable with cli tools and Handbrake was already mentioned so next you could try Movavi Video Converter but I recommend v21.3.0 you can get it from lrepacks (trustworthy) because it is better in features than their latest version.
You know, I thought Movavi might have been it but then I run into the problem I seem to with all the others. For some reason, it states AMD GPU Acceleration is on but when I start converting, all my CPU cores go to 100%+ and the GPU sits barely working. It's baffling! Urg!
Try shutterencoder
I've always found Super Video Converter to be very useful and easy to use for video conversion.
Depending on what I am encoding I will either use avidemux, handbreak or staxrip
