Nice tools, Thank you.

is there no option just to extract video / audio without convert?

[Eibol]

If you mean a demux option, It is not implemented, but you can use the map parameter to extract the audio or video stream, and stream copy It. What do you need exactly?

Nice tools, Thank you.

Version 1.3.5

- New checkbox so you can keep source path folder structure on output destination.
- Now conversion can be started pressing enter on preset of parameters field.

When I try to convert MP4 h264 4k video to DNxHR (any profile), the program crashes, then ffmpeg in the background starts as soon as I reopen the program and I get a video with some artifacts.

Video is from a GH5 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q9MkWhjqJZU5VS_uZYHOEwyPK4e1sK-6/view?usp=sharing

Parameters needed and used:
-c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_sq -c:a pcm_s16le

As you can try, you can see that try preset says that everything is fine, sad thing is that when you click start the program freezes and crashes.

[Eibol]

Hello,

Thanks for the input. I downloaded and tried converting the file with your parameters and got that weird error.
I guess that you are using mov as output in format field.

I tried this alternative and it worked: -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_sq -c:a copy

I'm not sure why this happens, but since the audio is already pcm 16 bits, the audio conversion is not necessary.
I hope this helps.

Oh, I didn't think about it... The reason why I had that line for the audio was because another camera that I usually use doesn't record in pcm, so, Ill probably use different settings for each camera.

Thank you!

Version 1.3.6

- Slight interface fix.
- Latest ffmpeg builds included.

[Sandros94]

Do I have to uninstall first or I can go straight and install the new version?

[Eibol]

It should be fine just to update, but sometimes the vs installer does not update the executable properly. If you don't get v1.3.6 after updating, just uninstall and install again.

Do I have to uninstall first or I can go straight and install the new version?

[Sandros94]

In fact it did not update, but uninstall and reinstall was just fine.

One more thing, I'm used to convert with the Fraunhofer AAC, how can I configure it inside FFmpeg Batch?

[Eibol]

The Fraunhofer aac encoder license does not allow to distribute it compiled in your software, but you can compile it yourself and replace the ffmpeg version on the installation folder (Program Files\Eibolsoft\FFmpeg Batch).

I have a pre-compiled 64 bits ffmpeg version with libfdka_aac included, you can try it: https://files.videohelp.com/u/273695/ffmpeg_libfdka_aac.zip

[Sandros94]

Wokring perfectly, so if there will be updates on FFmpeg Batch I'll need somewhere to get the ffmpeg with the Fraunhofer AAC enabled right?

[Eibol]

That' right. Anyway, the compiled ffmpeg versión I provided should be fine for a long time.

So I found a little bug, when I add a second preset, then delete the one before the first preset that I created, the latter will include in the title the name and parameters form the last one... I don't know if it makes sense what I just said, but here it is the ff_batch.txt file (the one in the roaming folder):

Yes, I think you found an issue when saving presets. I thought it was solved, it is related to blank lines not being properly detected when deleting a preset.
I'm afraid this will need some redesign. For the moment, you should try saving presets with names that do not start with the same text, lilke this for example:
1. (Name)
2. (Name)
3. (Name)

Yes, I think you found an issue when saving presets. I thought it was solved, it is related to blank lines not being ...

Yes I saw the backup txt file in the installation folder.

No problem, I'm glad to help finding and reporting little bugs. I endend up creating all my main presets straight in to the txt file (the file structure was really intuitive).

[Eibol]

Glad to know you can use the config file at your will.

I think I could fix the issue deleting presets, I've done some tests and it did not show up.
Please uninstall previous version so executable is properly updated.
Now in .zip format, for some reason, scanning with Virus Total, only the 32 bits version shows a malware warning by Baidu, rest of 60 scan engines show file is safe.

Version 1.3.7.

- Fixed config file corruption deleting presets.
- Fixed Baidu antivirus detecting the installer as false positive malware.

Hi, it is just an abbreviation for 'concatenate'. It will concatenate all the list files using the selected preset.

Can I run your program as portable app?

(Thanks for your great app)

[Eibol]

Hi,

I have developed this beta 1.4.4 version, so the application can be run with no installation required, provided .NET libraries are already installed.
Just decompress the files on any folder and run FFbatch.exe. It will show just the default and one sample preset created.

and then replace it back there in that folder.

Very nice work! Thanks for this wonderful software.
How do you create a video from a still image and an audio file?

[LigH.de]

Mr_Anderson ... (Agent Smith here)

If you want to make e.g. a menu with audio or an intermission screen in a consumer format which requires specific authoring (DVD Video, Blu-ray): Don't make a video, they support one still frame with underlying music.

But if you are sure you need it: guide video on YouTube with ffmpeg command line parameters (example below). How to apply those in this GUI, is a different topic...

ffmpeg -y -loop 1 -r 1 -i image.png -acodec copy -i audio.mp3 -shortest thisvid.mp4

Basic idea: Loop the image infinitely, and cut the loop at the duration of the (shorter, because finite) audio track. Well, I guess a more usual frame rate is advisable...
