So this was the start of my journey into FFMpeg documentation (lol), so I could try to get the possibilities of ffmpeg CLI. Then i tried AnotherGUi : this is literally a GUI which offered nothing else but the possibility of writing your own command-lines and saving them as presets. Not bad at all, but it's no longer usable with recent Windows OS Let me tell you a few GUIs that i tried over the years.ĪVANTI was the first one : Kind of "simple" GUI, but who offered the possibility of custom ffmpeg Commands, and Avisynth Scripts. So I dropped those "friendly but oversimplified" GUIs, which were working mostly with preselected parameters. (Which, I was aware, could be available with CLI-ffmpeg) It worked, but as time went by, and with my more serious jobs, i always wanted to have more precise control and was often frustrated that those GUIs were always missing some function i needed. I'll share my small experience with the excellent tool, its kind of on-topic.Ī long (looong) time ago, as a newbie in the video world, i started using the infamous SUPER©, and the not-so-freeware-MediaCoder.

You have to enter complete CommandLines (they are not generated), but there areĪlways People, who will help You to create them, e.g.Open-source GUI-BasicStructure, thus totally adaptable to any Task and for anyone's Needs.Total Control over the Programflow realizable by Reading from/Writing to the FFmpeg-Process.Streaming/Playing, Converting, Ripping, USB-Recording, ScreenRecording with Audio, and so on More comfortable than BatchCommands or Scripts.Unlike other GUIs, 'RunFFmpeg' takes the CommandLines themselves to do the Job(s) via theįFmpeg-CommandLine-Tools 'ffmpeg.exe', ' ffprobe.exe' and ' ffplay.exe' (static or shared).Īdvantages, compared to Batchfiles, Scripts or other GUIs: That's why RunFFmpeg does it a different Way, see Pass them to a FFmpeg-CLI, typically 'ffmpeg.exe'. They are actually Wizards, that compose CommandLines by Selecting/Choosing diverse Options, and then Normally those GUI's are specialized to one Kind of Job, e.g. Considering the nearly endless Capabilities of ' FFmpeg', it's quite impossible toįind a single FFmpeg-FrontEnd for "all that CLI can".
