Video Cruncher is a Rust program designed to simplify the process of converting video files using FFmpeg. It allows you to select video files through a file chooser dialog and generates FFmpeg commands for each selected file. The program then executes these commands, leveraging FFmpeg to perform the desired conversions.
- Run the Executable: After running the executable, a file chooser dialog will pop up.
- Select Video Files: Choose the video files you want to process.
- FFmpeg Commands Generation: Video Cruncher generates FFmpeg commands for each selected file.
- Execution: The program runs each FFmpeg command to perform the conversions.
- Closure: After all conversions are complete, the program closes.
- File Chooser Dialog: Allows easy selection of video files.
- FFmpeg Integration: Utilizes FFmpeg for video conversion.
- Default Encoder: Uses H.265 encoder with a CRF (Constant Rate Factor) of 24.
- Subtitle Handling: Searches for subtitle files with the same name as the video files. If found, outputs the video with embedded subtitles in MKV format.
- Graphical User Interface (GUI): A GUI will be added in the future for a more user-friendly experience.
- Customization Options: Additional options for specifying FFmpeg parameters and encoder settings.
- Error Handling: Improved error handling and feedback mechanisms.
- FFmpeg: The FFmpeg executable needs to be available. For example, on Linux, it can be located at
/usr/bin/ffmpeg. On Windows, ensure FFmpeg is added to the global variables. - Rust: Make sure you have Rust installed on your system.
- Clone this repository.
- Build the project using
cargo build. - Run the executable generated by Cargo.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to select and process your video files.
