ProWo · 30th March 2020, 08:38

Hi all

Clever FFmpeg GUI is a small, but smart GUI for FFmpeg.
It processes Audio and Video streams separately. These can be muxed after processing.
It's for Windows Systems, portable, x86, x64, ARM. Requires .NET Framework.

No installation required. Extract and use it.

Audio length and pitch modification, automatic Video crop detection, Audio and Video Fade In and Fade Out,
Change aspect ratio (at Stream level too, for avc, hevc amnd mpeg2), Change Audio and Subtitles stream language,
Change profile level without recoding (for x264 and hevc).
Cut on Keyframes.
HDR10 recoding while keeping HDR10 metadata (with H.265 codec) and HDR10 to SDR with tonemap and desaturation for all avaiable codecs.
3D Look-Up Tables (LUTs) support in Video encoding.
Batch processing.

DVD movie rip implemented (unprotected DVD's only).
Point to VOB 1 of a Title Set (g.e. VTS_01_1.VOB for Titleset 1), answer Yes to the questions and the entire movie will be ripped and imported.

Video Stream Encoding to: mpeg1, mpeg2, Theora, x264 (avc), x265 (hevc), Divx, ffv1, Xvid, VP8, VP9, DNxHD, DNxHR, AV1, wmv1, wmv2, prores.

Convert interlaced 23.976fps to progressive 25fps

Special features:

With TV Rips with AC3 6ch audio it happens that the first frames have only 2 ch. In the encode audiostream section there is a button for this. If it is selected, the target file will be patched to full 6 ch. This button is only available if the source file is or contains an AC3 6ch file.

Another great thing is that you can convert the soundtrack of a 25 FPS PAL movie to an e.g. 23.976 FPS NTSC soundtrack or vice versa and, if desired, also adjust the audio pitch.

Maybe have a look at 144 DPI (I'm at 288), it looks poor because High DPI support is not enabled. It can be enabled via API or manifest but the only proper fix is getting rid of WinForms, there are too many issues, it's hopeless and I regret having wasted so much time and effort with it.

ProWo · 11th June 2020, 08:56

Hi stax76

I don't have a High DPI Monitor and therefore i cannot test, if my app is compatible with High DPI.
I made some changes. Can you test for me if the display is correct now?

Code:

https://www.upload.ee/files/11859636/clever_ffmpeg_gui_246.7z.html

stax76 · 11th June 2020, 09:22

The first screen is High DPI enabled, opening a source file throws an exception shown by .NET Framework exception dialog and that dialog is unusable at 288 DPI, so I cannot post the stack trace.

ProWo · 16th June 2020, 16:12

June 16 2020 update to version 2.4.7.
Added: You can use the already installed ffmpeg static files.
At the first use you have to specify the location of ffmpeg, ffprobe and ffplay.
Added: High DPI aware.
Many fine tunings.
