The audio section should offer

FLAC
Opus
OGG

There is no sense to put WAV in an encoding, with existence of FLAC.

So I recommend to add these 3 further major codecs.

Offer also more video encoders, especially NVEnc encoding.

Hello ProWo,

if you are looking for a website for your project I would like to suggest github, if open source would be an option.

It could make sense to bundle all dependencies, it's easier for people to get started and ensures that the ffmpeg built has all features you are using enabled.

My project is meant to be a simple GUI, not a competition to Handbrake or others, so that even inexperienced users can get along with it and have the most necessary tools available. Wav as output has the purpose to allow various manipulations with all audio editors.

Hi stax76,
thanks for your input, I'll think about it.

Crashes directly on specifying sourcefile: "No given filename" on Process()

Code:
************** Ausnahmetext **************
System.InvalidOperationException: Der Prozess kann nicht gestartet werden, da ein Dateiname nicht angegeben wurde.
   bei System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
Seems maybe ffmpeg.exe is not located.

On both, beta and stable ... x86 and x64

Very courious behaving:
It starts only if I use it from inside the "download" folder, but not from any another drive (with full permissions).

But after a message that the stream must be copied because of a missing framerate (mkv) the UI is freezing ... and copying of these video is never completed ...

Try to delete this folder: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\clever_FFmpeg_GUI.
user=your user name on windows
Then restart clever FFmpeg-GUI.
If you use the 64 bit version you must also use 64 bit ffmpeg.

Thank you for answering.

I respected verions of x86 and x64, that should not be a problem here.

Deleted folders in AppData.
Worked for one time, until this coying ... btw: ffmpeg has no problems with this file started manually by cmd.

Now clever_FFmpeg_GUI wont work again.
So I deleted again folder in AppData.
But on restarting clever_FFmpeg_GUI it even does not ask again for some location of ffmpeg.exe, and again this exception on loading a sourcefile appears. Folder with executable of clever_FFmpeg_GUI does not contain any ffmpeg.exe.

Lets see if others have same problems ...

Download the latest static build for your architecture (x64 or x86) from this page.
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
Extract the file wherever you want. It will create a folder with a name like ffmpeg-20200812-bb59bdb-win64-static, with a bin subfolder; in this bin subfolder are the three files clever FFmpeg-GUI needs.
Delete the folder C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\clever_FFmpeg-GUI (where xxx=your user name on windows) again. The first time you start clever FFmpeg-GUI, navigate to the above bin folder in the folder browser. That's it. Now everything should work fine.

All this I did before ...

- Dowmloaded static build from Zeroane
- Extracted them to e:\ffmpeg-20200812-4ed6bca-win64-static
- Removed "clever_FFmpeg_GUI" from "C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local"
- Extracted actual clever_FFmpeg_GUI-beta to "e:\clever_ffmpeg_gui_newest_beta"

Started "E:\clever_ffmpeg_gui_newest_beta\x64\clever FFmpeg GUI.exe"

And again ... no question for a location to the bin-folder of ffmpeg.
Opening a sourcefile results in exception again -> "No filename specified".

This is the only file in appData: "user.config":

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
            <section name="clever_FFmpeg_GUI.My.MySettings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
        </sectionGroup>
    </configSections>
    <userSettings>
        <clever_FFmpeg_GUI.My.MySettings>
            <setting name="spos_x" serializeAs="String">
                <value>175</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="spos_y" serializeAs="String">
                <value>209</value>
            </setting>
        </clever_FFmpeg_GUI.My.MySettings>
    </userSettings>
</configuration>
As I said before, there must be some bad bug.
Where is path to ffmpeg saved? I dont see it in that user.config. And its not asked again ... so it must be saved somewhere ...
Should the be an file for Application Settings too? I dont see anyone.

Sorry, still not working for me even with latest update.

As I said before:
- Removed "clever_FFmpeg_GUI" from "C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local"

There is no folder of clever_FFmpeg_GUI anymore in my appdata, but it still does not ask for a new path on restart.

You should take a look at my posted user.config.
You dont see "ffmpegPath" in there, you dont get questions about that?

Ive had a quick look into your sourcecode (as good as decompiling works), its definied to be in there, so there seems something going wrong. Some entries are missing in my user.config, every time its created.
Thats why I asked where you store path to ffmpeg ...
