FFMpeg Console functions as a "wizard" with 3 parts:
FILES
FORMAT
OUTPUT
Customizing the Gui
FILES
- Click on "Add..." or drag & drop files from File Explorer, the desktop or elsewhere.
- The output files will always be in the same directory as the source files, and will be named the same as the source files but with the new extension. If the file name already exists, a number, like _003, will be appended to the file name.
- Right click on the file list for menu choices.
- Click "Next >"...
FORMAT
- Choose one of the available pre-existing formats from the drop-down menu. There's a basic list to start you off but you can add more, as well as edit, delete or rearranged them. Mouse-over the icons for help.
- Below on the right (where it says "MP4" in bold letters) is where you define the extension (i.e. format) the output file should have.
- The main edit box in the center, contains the FFMpeg command line. It should normally contain both of the following keywords:
- "#INFILE" - upon execution, this will be replaced with the name of the source file.
- "#OUTFILE" - will be replaced with the name of the output file with the extension you specified.
- The edit box below is a space for helpful notes, if you want any. Each format will have it's own.
- Any formats you change or add will be saved to an .ini file called FFMpegConsole.ini and located in the "AppData/Roaming/Gui4Cli" folder. No changes will be made unless you save them using the icons at the top.
- Click "Convert", to launch FFMpeg - You will be taken to the Output panel.
OUTPUT
- This will display the output from FFMpeg and a couple of progress bars indicating the progress of the current file and all the files.
- Click on "ABORT" if you want to stop execution. Note - this will only stop the launching of the next file. It will not stop FFMpeg from converting the current file. To terminate FFMpeg mid-job, use the Task Manager.
Customizing the Gui
- Since this app was written in Gui4Cli you can customize the colors, fonts, etc as well as move the controls around. Read more here... You could make it look like this for example..
