- epynonymous 16y agolol, oh wait, forgot this was hacker news, you don't do guis :P
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoIf you're looking for a simple GUI you might want to try the Miro Video Converter. http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/ http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/
- epynonymous 16y agothanks, i have tried it, basically the conversion just sort of hangs, i've never encoded successfully, tried different dvds, too.
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoAre you converting directly from the physical DVD? I didn't even think it supported that. For physical DVDs to H.264 then Handbrake is the way to go.
- epynonymous 16y agobtw, handbrake has a gui for windows and linux. i'm going to try that out, but i don't know if it includes the latest ffmpeg.
- astrange 16y agoHandbrake is the only GUI I would recommend on any platform. This isn't because I really like it - the implementation of presets is broken, for one thing - but mostly because so many other ones are license violators. If you aren't doing DVD ripping, I'd consider it a failure of the CLI tool if it's not easier to use than any GUI frontend. x264 is nearly there, since "x264 -o out.mp4 in.something" should be all you need to get a good encode after this GSoC.
