ffmpeg update?

It occurred to me to try and write simple RO front-ends for the ffmpeg suite similar to the ones I did for ROXFiler. However so far as I can tell thus far the most ‘up to date’ (sic) version of the ffmpeg suite for RO this one

http://www.users.on.net/~belles/software/ffmpeg/

which IIRC was done by Chris Marten long ago. Is there a more uptodate version? If not, any volunteers?

The latest from Chris Martin I know is this alpha but was never on his official site.
Chris Gransden has also ported a newer one.

What frontend do you need. I have any for the things I need.

Thanks for pointing out the newer version. :-)

I was thinking of doing RO versions of some of the specific-purpose ROX apps I’ve written. The only one of these that I’ve made public for ROX/Linux is the “AVchopper” one linked from
http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/software/index.html
This lets you feed the app a text file listing ‘cut points’ in a hh:mm:ss format and it will then chug though the identified source av file and generate the timed segments. I’ve done simlar apps for automating things like doing an ffprobe, and other operations I do often. Quicker as it uses Drag-and-drop rather than having to type in new commands each time.

I was just about to do one that let me DnD to convert the aspect ratio between 16:9 and 4:3 for some old files.

I do something similar with sox for audio. e.g. DnD some flac or wave files and it generates the ‘other type’ of each one for me. Makes life easier when you have a load of files to work on. Well, suits me anyway.

I was about to ask a similar question about sox, but for my purposes that is fine as is.

(just fixed some typos, etc!)
