[Feature Request] Media converter with ffmpg #3442

Open Madmorgan007 opened 4 years ago

Madmorgan007 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I use ffmpg a lot to convert videos into a stranded format, it would be nice if there was a power tool for it.

the tool could be simple UI or a right click on media (content menu) that when you select a video that you get an option to select want format you want to convert to. AVI -> MP4 -> MKV -> Other

also with that tool you can update the version of ffmpg you have installed and update some of the ffmpeg commands

if you can make it work like PowerRename

bickthepickle commented 4 years ago

wav to mp3 would be most useful

Jay-o-Way commented 4 years ago

I sometimes need to export (only) the audio out of an mp4 file. Can we add that too?

Sure, Why not?

It has been 2 years it is still not implemented. 😥

There are countless of alternatives.

Actually no. Format Factory was a good one. But now it's flagged by most antivirus. Handbrake is good too but it can't do video to audio or image conversion. There was some open source projects but they aren't maintained anymore. The only solution is to buy a software like Wondershare Uniconverter

Just use ffmpeg directly, that's what the PowerToy is suggesting anyhow. Or use VLC (it can do a lot of transcoding, including audio extraction).

Ah. Now I have to read ffmpeg docs and learn commands. I don't know why you guys isn't implementing it. Is it licensing issue? or is it just hard to implement? I wish I could help. But I don't know C# and dotnet stuff.

@fluentmoheshwar At the moment we have more then 3000 open issues. Unfortunately, we have a very limited, small group of people actually contributing/building. Therefore we are always lagging and we must make decisions about what to do and what not to do (which is "above my pay check"). When there are existing solutions, we recommend to use that.

I understand. I will learn C#. Cause I like it. And help tons of open source projects. Also do my own stuff 😁☺️☺️

I was visiting to submit a the idea to maybe integrate "file-converter.org/" if possible. Turns out this idea has already been submitted. Would be a lovely addition.

the last release of the app is in 2017 :) I don't think it's maintained anymore

otDan commented 1 year ago

has there been any progress on this? a video converter is a pretty handy tool, would work well in powertoys

john-bartu commented 8 months ago

@otDan, and others If there was a person (me, for example) who could implement this, could we put together the requested functionalities? I have already created small CLI tool based on Spectre.Console for audio extraction, but i could implement other functionalities for converting as extension to PowerToys becouse this is awesome toolbox.

@Jay-o-Way Could this be implemented based on Xabe.FFmpeg bindings?
