This may not be the place but I thought I’d give it a shot.
I need some guidance on video conversion software. I’ve pirated & tried Aiseesoft Video Converter, Wondershare UniConverter, VideoProc, Winxvideo AI & ffmpeg although I don’t do very well with the command line and can’t find one solution to do everything I need.
I’m seeking support for multiple file processing, custom profiles (resolution, aspect, etc.), all modern CODECs including HEVC, AV1/Opus, basic video editing, AMD Hardware Acceleration (have a Radeon RX 470 graphics card), hard and soft subtitles, audio normalization & constant rate or target bitrate control modes.
I’ve only ever found one software that would do all of these things & that was VSO’s ConvertXtoVideo. Unfortunately, the company has downsized & only has 1 or 2 programmers and while they claim to be working on an UHD Converter, all they have right now is an Alpha version which, basically, does nothing.
If anyone can steer me in the direction of a free or paid software that will do most of what I’m wanting I’d be very grateful.
Shutter is a really nice front-end for ffmpeg but can you put in custom resolutions or do you have to work with what they have? Also, how do you set it to pick up soft subs and hard code them into the video? Also, it’s so nice to find a piece of software that will FINALLY use my GPU! :)
Yes you can do custom resolutions, it’s on the top right. You can chose source, scale to a specific res, or fix H/W and it’ll calculate the other.
There’s a section for Add subtitles as well. You’d have to play around with it some, I don’t know all the ins and outs.
