But that is not ffmpeg, is it? I know they use some of the same encoding libraries.

There is a MR to update it to FFMPEG 7: https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/pull/5884 https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/pull/5884

  Because HandBrake uses some parts of the FFmpeg libraries, but HandBrake scope is much smaller than FFmpeg, and while it uses some parts, it's definitely not FFmpeg CLI GUI.

ffmpeg is, mainly, a bunch of libraries. libavcodec, libavformat, libswresample, etc, is almost all of ffmpeg. If a project is using those libraries, it's using ffmpeg. The ffmpeg command line utility is "just" an interface to those libraries.

  ffmpeg is a lot more than just a wrapper on libraries. It can do a lot of filtering and rewiring of audio channels, video channels and subtitles. Handbrake doesn't do any of that. You can't even drag a bunch of audio files on to handbrake because handbrake doesn't do audio, while ffmpeg is great for encoding audio.

    What I'm saying is that ffmpeg is the libraries. When you use the ffmpeg CLI to filter and rewrite audio, the ffmpeg command is just decoding it using a decoder in libavcodec, filtering using a filter from libavfilter, and encoding again using an encoder from libavcodec. The ffmpeg CLI is "just" an interface for the libraries. The fact that Handbrake doesn't expose the same features as the ffmpeg CLI tool is frankly irrelevant.

      The fact that Handbrake doesn't expose the same features as the ffmpeg CLI tool is frankly irrelevant. It's not just relevant, it's the whole thing. They asked for an ffmpeg GUI and someone recommended a GUI that doesn't use ffmpeg and doesn't do what ffmpeg can do. ffmpeg can not only rewire channels, it can stream video, capture video from the screen, capture video from a tv tuner, overlay text etc. Also the libraries you listed are part of the ffmpeg project. They come from ffmpeg. https://ffmpeg.org/about.html https://ffmpeg.org/about.html Also they asked for a GUI to ffmpeg, not necessarily a GUI to the command line tool.

        Handbrake does use ffmpeg. My whole point is that the libraries are ffmpeg, so I don't understand why you're saying it back to me. Gah. I give up.

        Handbrake isn't a GUI for all of ffmpeg, it does a very limited set of what ffmpeg can do.

        Never argued otherwise. Specifically, the thing I'm saying is wrong is: > someone recommended a GUI that doesn't use ffmpeg Handbrake uses ffmpeg. But I recognize your username. I don't remember from where but I remember reading or having a conversation with you which went nowhere. I think I'm done.

        Using ffmpeg for one thing doesn't mean a GUI is a GUI for all of ffmpeg.
