At times I do need an audio/video converter, and it is always a bit of a pain sifting trough all the dubious and low quality freeware programs. Although Handbrake is not really dubious, last time I tried it wasn't very user friendly or easy either. Anyone know why it seems to be hard to make a nice, easy 'convert arbitrary format to something commonplace' program? And since this gets upvoted, is Handbrake considered the current standard?
- anomaly_ 12y agoAdapter (http://www.macroplant.com/adapter/ http://www.macroplant.com/adapter/) could be what you're looking for
- ubercow13 12y agoYou could try just using ffmpeg (depending on your definition of easy). In most instances it will simply be a case of something like ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -c:a libfdk_aac output.mkv
- Igglyboo 12y agoI second this, I bet most of those freeware programs are just shitty GUIs around ffmpeg anyway. I doubt the developers of those programs care about GPL violations either.
