Presets
Contents
Audio/video presets are predefined settings for ffmpeg/avconv. There are presets for various conversion types depending on the desired output quality, different devices, etc. FF Multi Converter uses the latest version of presets provided by the WinFF project (libfaac version) plus some extra presets. Users can add presets, edit or delete any of the defaults and even create their own presets versions. User presets are located at ~/.config/ffmulticonverter/presets.xml while default presets can be found at /usr/share/ffmulticonverter/presets.xml (or at /usr/local/share/ depending on Linux distro).
- FF Multi Converter default presets: https://github.com/Ilias95/FF-Multi-Converter/blob/master/share/presets.xml
- WinFF original presets: http://code.google.com/p/winff/downloads/detail?name=presets-libavcodec54_v3_libfaac.wff&can=2&q=
All available preset options are described below.
This option will replace all your current presets with the presets that will be found on the imported file. Be careful with this option because it can cause loss of data. Before attempting to import a file, be sure that you really don't need your current presets or even better backup them.
You can always take a backup of your presets by exporting them in order to restore them later with the import option.
This option will delete your current presets and restore the defaults provided officially. Again be careful.
It is recommended to make a presets synchronization for each new version of FF Multi Converter. That means to merge your current presets with the default presets provided by the program. New presets can be added or edited from version to version and this option will help you to stay up-to-date without loosing your own presets. An __OLD prefix will be added to the name of presets that already existed and updated (eg. their command line parameters changed). Again you better take a backup before attempting synchronization.
This option will remove all presets with an __OLD prefix in their name that resulted from synchronization.
We’re hoping to extend the default presets list with new presets for all conversion types. Please send us yours! If you created or found a preset and you think it's useful, it's good to share it with others and make it one of the default presets.
Just fork the project, add your presets and make a pull request, submit a patch or open an issue requesting new presets addition. We'll evaluate it and hopefully merge it.
