|
| Is there a gui frontend for the wonderful ffmpeg utility, i enjoy my cli just as much as anyone, but i feel a gui frontend would be nice, would speed things up for converting large amounts of files, instead of having to write a script. |

speed things up for batch processing? with a GUI?
pack a command line with the appropriate options into a shell script and call this one by another shell script that has
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
for i in *.mpg ; do
name=`basename $i .mpg`
<scriptname> $i $name.avi
done
|
Can it get more easy than calling a script and convert each and every movie in the directory. with a little more effort you can make the file list a command line parameter to the second script.
There are GUI's for mencoder and transcode, maybe for ffmpeg too, but they are for beginners and don't feature all the nice features of these packages. If you are already familiar with the command line options, just stick to the command line and write some nice and convinient scripts.

| I agree scripting is far faster than using a gui. I don't use bash for scripting but then that is because I don't know bash. |
