AMVtool - One software for encoding & recontainering!

[l33tmeatwad]

Any testing and feedback that I can get would be very helpful!

Download

Features:
Available on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Automatically chooses the color matrix based on the existing file or guesses based on resolution.
Can pass through HDR or convert it to SDR.
Easily copy video & audio streams from one container to another.
Queue for batch encoding and easily configure all videos at once or individually.
Shows bit depth of the currently selected video stream.
Supports encoding of AviSynth (Windows Only) & VapourSynth scripts.
Supports encoding to DNxHR, ProRes, Ut Video, VP9, x264, & x265.
Supports multiple audio streams.

Planned/Upcoming Features:
Multi-Language Support

Notes:
On Linux and macOS it looks for FFmpeg in the same folder that AMVtool is in, then additionally in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin. On Windows it looks for VSPIPE in the same folder, however in Linux and macOS it looks for it in /usr/local/bin.

Known Issues:
-The first pass for VP9 encodes will not show progress (working on a fix).
-Unable to determine bit depth of VP9 video so program makes an educated guess based on other details (limitation of MediaInfo).
-Unable to pass through HDR from AviSynth & VapourSynth.

Windows Requirements:
FFmpeg 5.1 (Copy Included)
Visual C++ Redistributable 2019

Linux Requirements:
FFmpeg 4.0 or greater.
Git
MediaInfo Library (Ubuntu Package Name: libmediainfo-dev)
Qt 5.6

Linux Instructions:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/l33tmeatwad/AMVtool
cd AMVtool
qmake
make
make install

Wow, nice tool! Thank you for making this!

I'll be waiting for the 10bit conversion.

I can't really see too much difference between using this and using the MKVExtractGUI (+MKVToolNix) and MyMP4Box combo, however I tried converting a 704x482 source with both your tool and my old method, and with the old method it changed the aspect ratio, but yours kept the aspect ratio, so thumbs up for that!

I also think this is very useful for beginners, it's only one program that they need (basically) and it's also easy to use and it's fast, so I also recommended it for others.

If you need help with translation into hungarian, feel free to tell me, I'll gladly help you!

Another post since I can't edit my original post:

One more thing I would mention:
Before conversion: fps --> 23,976215
After conversion: fps --> 24,500609

Is that on purpose?

I'd have to see the specs on the original file and what exactly your settings were.

3. Click no on audio
4. Click yes on the mp4 question (only recontainer videos compatible with mp4)

This part is the reason it is doing the weird frame rate change:

Code: Select all

Frame rate                     : 23.976 fps
Original frame rate            : 29.970 fps

That said, it should not change it enough to be an issue, especially for editing purposes. You can also tell your editing software to interpret the footage at a particular frame rate as well.
