v0.11.0-win64

Small update bringing two useful features.

What's new

• Added passthrough for video and audio. When selected in the codec dropdown, ffmpeg will use the original stream rather than reencode it.
• Added audio downmixing. You can choose the audio channel count in the options.

Other notable changes

• Fixed default audio quality being very low upon opening the app for the first time
• Enabled and disabled controls properly update on app launch and when loading a preset
• Fixed potential crash involving certain numerical controls
• Fixed some memory leaks
• Updated shipped ffmpeg binaries (from gyan.dev)

v0.10.0-win64

New release bringing several features as well as several in-progress improvements!

What's new

• App theme will now sync with the system (light/dark). On Windows, theme accent colors will also be used.
• All codecs and muxers supported by FFmpeg are now available. Uncheck "Show common formats only" to display all of them.
• A file from the explorer can now be drag and dropped onto the app's window. It will be loaded for encoding.
• Presets are more useful as they cover almost every setting.
  • A "Default" preset with standard values and "Discord" (8mb file size) preset are provided for now.
  • More presets can also be configured in presets.ini of the app's folder.
• Fixed the requirement to have ffmpeg.exe in the app's folder. Now executables in the PATH will be recognized properly.

Possible issues

• Some files may fail to encode properly because they have uncommon metadata. This is because the current metadata parser is quite rustic, but it will be rewritten in a future release.
• Running on MacOS should be possible but has not been extensively tested.

Other notable changes

• Ported build system from QMake to CMake.
• New app icon courtesy of @theodore-lheureux.
• Restructured codebase with a clean folder structure.
• Attempted to de-couple the codebase with dependency injection, using boost::di. It's a start, but there's still much to do.
• Streamlined serialization of the app's input widgets for easier settings and presets management.
• And many more code changes...

v0.9.0-beta-win64

Initial beta release for Windows. Building for Linux is supported.

What works

• All features should be operational.
• Build has been confirmed working on Windows and Arch Linux.

What may not work

• Some media files may fail to be loaded because of their metadata;
  • This will be remediated soon (February 2024), as I'm rewriting the whole thing.
• Some UI behaviour may be unexpected or unintuitive;
  • Feel free to report such.
• Code is a huge mess.
  • An upcoming update will streamline things up and patch a few bugs along the way.
