1. I should have made screenshots of the mux screen. Under the Codex column, there is usually something like H.264, etc. etc. When I dropped a file on the mux page of .06, the codec heading shows some unrecognizable gibberish and when clicked on mux, Clever says the codec is not recognizable.
2. I did made screenshots of the self-deleted Clever.

.06 self-deleted again just now.

Maybe Window Defender deletes it?
How do I open the backup file you made for me? I double click on it and nothing happens. Thanks.

v3.4.5.06 Feedback
Update:
The app folder only contain the usual 7 files.
I start v3.4.5.05 and update to 06. So 05 get closed and 06 get started. But when I close 06, the 06 "clever FFmpeg GUI.exe" get deleted and Updater.bat stay in the app folder.
I use W11 x64.
Restore:
The restore of 05 from 06 is working!
---
The output file check after encoding is working. Also for "aac fdk". Thank you.

All unused processed files are selected by default. Thanks. -
I downloaded the latest beta which is .06
Sub muxing is working fine now.
After closing, Clever still self-deletes with this messagebox.

v3.4.5.08 Feedback
Your fix is working. Thanks.
Problem: It looks like that the restore only works when the file "rename" exists before you start the update proces
EDIT: often I have to run restore twice to get it done.
ADD & EDIT2:
BTW: Even with a new app version availabel, you can perform a backup of the used app version even if an older backup exists. Perfect!Last edited by Findu; 4th Sep 2025 at 10:07.

- Is there a reason why the 'change frame rate' screen is missing 'to batch' button.
all the other features under various have it.
- And why is the stream index box placed all the way on the right?
[Attachment 88551 - Click to enlarge]As always .. there is nothing wrong with my environment -
There was a reason, because the previous task involved three steps.
That is no longer the case, so I will reactivate the button.
The stream selection is positioned where it is because other elements were taking up the space.
However, I will change that and move the stream selection to the left. -

New feature idea ..
when you try to encode a large file ~ 10Gb, wouldn't be cool if, after selecting your
settings, Clever would estimate the time and target size before starting the process.
one way to do this is by running a sample encode say [2%, larger for better accuracy]
and then note sample size and time taken to process. extrapolate, linearly, to full size
encode for estimated time and target size.
I created a script to do this and found the result, although linear, was pretty accurate.
@ProWo .. up for a new challenge?As always .. there is nothing wrong with my environment -
Thanks to the developer of this software. It is a very good FFmpeg GUI.
I would like to ask something. It's about how the software stores its settings.
It creates a file (portable.config) to store them.
The settings I see on the file are stored based on my computer's name.
Well I don't like that
I just renamed my computer and new settings have to be created with the new name of my computer.
If I use the program from my USB to another computer I will have to save the settings for this computer again.
Can this be avoided?
I would like to use the same settings everywhere and my settings not need to be set again if I rename my computer.
Thanks again to the developer of this excellent software.Last edited by ilektryon; 4th Sep 2025 at 18:03.

Usefull info:
[Attachment 88561 - Click to enlarge]As always .. there is nothing wrong with my environment -
When I use this FFMPEG command, I noticed a slight difference in the duration of the converted file compared to the cleverGUI export.
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0:a:0 -c:a flac -af atempo=0.959040959041 output.flac
FFMPEG: 52:39.389
cleverGUI: 52:39.410
Any idea why this is happening? -
You are using this and you set the settings not to be globally portable right?
https://github.com/crdx/PortableSettingsProvider
This is very important to me because I encode in many PCs all the time and I want the app to be globally portable.
So I will have to use Handbrake which can be globally portable.
Thank you for your reply and this great FFmpeg GUI. -

Yes, you are right. It was the pitch change.
Not that it really matters since it is so small, but why does the pitch adjustment affect the length? -

I love Clever.
I like watching YouTube videos. I download them along with the subtitle and watch later. I use Clever to mux the subtitles.
It's great that I can drag and drop all the files to Clever. The files are then grouped and the first group is checked. If I am doing MKV and don't need to check the default, I can just click "Multiplex" until all the files are done. Can't do it this fast with MKVToolnix.

[Attachment 88571 - Click to enlarge]
Now if the are two subs or more, then I would need to choose a default. And if I am doing MP4 and language code is not "eng", then I have to type that in. Can Clever be optimized to automate the process even further?
