dmMediaEncoder v1.8.0 - crossplatform FFMPEG GUI

[mdalacu]

I will see what i can do. But it will be something very simple where you must know what to put in, no pick list no nothing.

That's fine! Users who add commands should know what they are doing and be able to interpret the FFmpeg log when they introduce errors.

P.S. You can stop a Run Now task by going in Job Queue and press Stop.

Yes I know! Just take your time to evaluate all the suggestions.

Hi Chris, i have tried to implement some of your suggestions. What do you think?
Thx.

dmMediaEncoder Tested and approved.
Coded hevc (libx265), yuv422p to test.
Some more filtering options for video would be cool.
Thank you.

Hi Chris, i have tried to implement some of your suggestions. What do you think?
Thx.

Well, I think everything that's needed for the target (x264, x265) now is there. Only the layout is still a bit untidy.

What I like the most are the "Source files/streams" sections. These are very logical layed out and allow easily to set up simple or complex convert/remux operations with multiple input clips. The second plus is that these setups can be moved to job queue for batch processing.

Oh yeah, also not unimportant to mention! In my test setup (XP), your app is very stable and did what I asked from it.

What I still don't like is that nothing is saved when you exit dmMediaConverter. It would be nice if at least the file add and output dialogs would open at the last opened path. Even better if the last job and job queue were saved too.

You could pay some more attention to the aesthetics where it concerns the layout. Also make the params: field a bit longer. You have plenty of room out there. See the example attachment below.

You could add a extra tab for the output options that are now on the "more" button (the options are ok). Just four tabs "Input Settings/Output Settings/Job Queue/Output Log".

But all in all enough progress to make this new version worthwhile again.

Version v1.2.0 is up, mainly bug fixing.

Very nice! Also the little changes you made.

One last suggestion is to put the "Quick start-up guide" from your website as a html file or pdf in the download zip.

It includes some important extra info, e.g. on how to recall saved user profiles.

Well done again,

Chris
