AutoFF a new gui for FFmpeg (v. 0.99.8)

[buzzqw]

Hi All

since 2 month i have switched to Linux (Sidux, a Debian Sid based distro) and i have worked in spare time on autoff, a wannabe complete ffmpeg gui

download link for LINUX -> http://www.64k.it/andres/data/autoff/AutoFF0996.tar.gz
download link for Windows -> http://www.64k.it/andres/data/autoff/AutoFF0998_Full_win.rar

you need ffmpeg, mplayer, and xterm terminal

here some screen shots












i added a particular support for x264, in "x264 options (for piping)" panel you can set all x264 options and use ffmpeg to pipe to x264 OR first make an uncompressed yuv file and then use x264 for compressing it

and suggestion is more then welcome

the product is released on GLP3 license, source code (in purebasic) is avaiable on request

Hi,

Looks cool, nice to have some filters etc, WinFF is great for quick drag and drop but this gives a lot more control for users who want to tweak.

[freebird73717]

Gmaq you can get it here

edit- link removed per request.

Buzzqw has a post about this on doom9. Buzzqw if you want me to remove this link just let me know and I will.

@Buzzqw - Thanks for posting this for the videohelp crowd. I'm glad to see more people writing software for linux. Keep up the good work. Feels good to be using linux doesn't it!!!

[GMaq]

Thanks Freebird,

Hope to have a good run-through with the hcbatchgui this evening as well.

@buzzqw,

Any thoughts about adding nicmp4box for iPod (iTunes) compliant muxing?

[buzzqw]

ops, i have putted link in first post, sorry

the update version is 0.99!!!

@freebird73717

please remove the old link.. and thanks!!

BHH

[freebird73717]

No thank you for supporting linux!

[GMaq]

Hi Again,

This app is very cool, especially for those of us a little overwhelmed by mencoder, Lots of nice switches for H.264 in ffmpeg as well, I don't know what voodoo you used for keeping the dependencies so minimal, but overall another great video app for Linux!

I took 4 seconds in GIMP and made an icon if anyone cares to use it here it is:

[buzzqw]

wow, thanks GMaq!

i will surely use it!

here a little update, http://www.64k.it/andres/data/autoff/autoff_0_99_1.tar.gz

i fixed the queue fuction, build bat fuction for windows build
plus some tuning to linux build
the copy audio now works, but i can guarantee only for ac3 stream

thanks all for support

BHH

[buzzqw]

added link to windows build (yes, i love cross compiling compatibility!)

fixed some compatibility issue with newer version of ffmpeg

i hope tonight to upload the linux version

BHH

[DKruskie]

buzzqw did you ever upload the new linux version?

[GMaq]

DKruskie,

There's a link to it 3 posts up from this one.

[DKruskie]

Thanks GMaq

built on May 2 2008 17:41:24, gcc: 4.2.3 20071123 (prerelease) (Debian 4.2.2-4)
FFmpeg version SVN-r13037

unrecognized option '-sws_flags'

Also

The video files are not in correct sort order (name) in the input file window

If mplayer is not found copy paste of the mplayer location causes it to crash when an input files is selected. It seems it must be entered by navigating with the file selector button.


One more thing.

Can you make the default video resize option to be the original size? Or no resize unless selected? Mine defaults to 4x2.

[buzzqw]

update to 0.99.4

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/autoff/AutoFF0994.tar.gz

fixing problem with piping
better queue
"fixed" (hope so) mplayer path copy
some tuning on x264

NOT FIXED: sort on input
NOT FIXED: sws_flags (on my 64bit debian i have still the 12810 ffmpeg build)
NOT FIXED: resize on input

BHH

[buzzqw]

ok, fixed the sort order in next update (i add all supported files to array, sort it, add to list..)

about sws_flags: i tested (on win) the 13537 build (sherpya build's), and sws_flags is working

BHH

sws_flags is an advanced option that is only available if compiled with SwScaler support.

IMO... it should be selectable in some way in the app instead of default and no way to turn it off.

Thanks for your hard work!

[buzzqw]

update to 0.99.5

add mp4box support: when you pipe or make yuv for encoding with x264 you have the option to mux the h264 stream (and audio) with MP4Box (gpac 0.4+) in MP4
fixed sort input list
fixed create bat button

To FIX : with on input file (bug only in linux version)
To FIX: optional sws_flags

Link in first post

BHH

[buzzqw]

in next update sws paramenter will be used only if user select another resizer

Hi buzz,

I see you've added mp4box which is great, The problem with x264 files for iPod users is that iTunes wants a specific UUID atom in the .mp4 or .m4v stream, As far as I know mp4box doesn't do this properly but nicmp4box does, Is it possible to add nicmp4box for muxing? This would really open up this application for iPod users in Windows and Linux users who want compatibility with iTunes.

Even in WinFF we can't do this, Matt the developer (understandably) doesn't want to get involved with having to run 3rd party programs, so we can't make iTunes compliant H.264 on either platform.

I did this remake of the 3GP converter which does this for Windows, it uses ffmpeg and then uses nicmp4box for iPod compliant muxing:

https://forum.videohelp.com/topic344379.html

Just to be clear, you can make iPod compliant H.264 .mp4 files in ffmpeg alone, but they do not work with iTunes which is not an issue in Linux but is an issue if you share a networked library with Windows machines running iTunes.

Just asking, Your time spent on this great application is very much appreciated.

[buzzqw]

adding nicmp4box support isn't a problem.. BUT it exist for linux ?
or .. i can add a combo list where user select nicmp4box or mp4box...

i will look at it! thanks for this good suggestion

BHH

[GMaq]

OK,

Firstly, thanks for looking into it!

Here is the link to "Nic's" site:

http://nic.dnsalias.com/

Unfortunately I don't see anything about a Linux binary

Will your Windows version run under WINE? It will be a pain to have nicmp4box alone depend on WINE for your Linux version.

[buzzqw]

done!

the win build (0.99.6) is up, i will compile the linux version when at home

BHH

[qwerty9876543]

BHH

Did you have a chance to get the Linux version up?

Thanks for your effort.

==========================

i have ffmpeg and mencoder installed, iv been trying to work out how to keep the high def and ditch the 70 .ts files for a week..

i keep geting a 700-900 mb file that looks like crap..

[buzzqw]

is it autoff that crash? or ffmpeg ?

btw you need mplayer not mencoder

try launch from a console the command string (or hit create bat)

BHH

[altpersona]

when i do this part



i highlight one of the .ts files and it says mplayer is unable to determine movie properties..

then it says please check media properties.

i launch autoff from a term window and it says the following..

====================

reading that seems to say "-MPlayer crashed." and such...

so, it seems im going to find out why it say that... or make it stop saying it..

[buzzqw]

you are using a quite old version of ffmpeg.. and suppose mplayer

there are several threads how to update ffmpeg/mplayer on ubuntu (i guess), try with mediabuntu (or debian-multimedia for debian)

BHH

[buzzqw]

update to 0.99.8

added support for latest x264 "features"

--b-adapt
--psy-rd
--aq

to use only when piping or first make yuv file

BHH
