** This branch is an attempt to revive QWinFF for my own and others' use. For the forseeable future, this will be a WINDOWS-ONLY project. There are many other great Linux and Mac media converters. If someone wants to support other platform development, please let me know.***

Current Status

Builds on windows command-line using Qt5
Focus is on Windows portable builds

Changes

Updated to build in Qt 5.15.2 (LTS)
Removed power management-related. It appears that this never really worked.
Removed installer-related items. Will be focusing on portable use case.

Plans

Add in updates from pull requests on main (abandoned) repository
Add features that I need so I can stop using multiple tools and streamline workflows for my team
- output filename patterns, to allow filesplitting

How to Build

Prerequisites:

Install Qt build tools in your path
To make portable, install patched version of windeployqt (See this discussion and download the binary from here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/112861/how-to-deploy-when-using-resource-system-windows-10)

Build referencing system libraries:

run windows_build.bat

Build to run portable:

run windows_build_portable.bat

QWinFF, FFmpeg GUI front-end based on Qt4

Introduction

QWinFF is a GUI for FFmpeg, a powerful media converter. FFmpeg can read audio and video files in various formats and convert them into other formats. QWinFF features an intuitive graphical interface and a rich set of presets to help you convert media files within a few clicks. Advanced users can also adjust conversion parameters in detail.

For compiling and installing QWinFF, please refer to INSTALL.txt.
