New update to version 2.5 released
Any chance to add batch processing? Would be nice to convert my entire scripts folder at once.
That is not planned at the moment. Maybe someday. But I can’t promise it.
Greetings and thanks for this program!
I had not tried to use the Convert video to i-frames until yesterday and have an issue or something. I have the ffmpeg path set. Then I press the convert button, navigate to and select my video.
The ffmpeg opens and processes and appears to save the new output. The problem is that windows nor other programs can see the file. I can only see it in the Converter select a file window. Somehow it is hidden from Windows? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Sorry I do not quite understand. After conversion, there should be two video files, the original *.mp4 and the new *_i-frames.mp4. You can’t see them in windows, but in fun expanders open file dialog?

I can see the original which is there when I start.
The file _i-frame.mp4 does not appear. If I open the convert dialogue to select a video after the original conversion, it is there. But the created file is not there to see with any Windows 10 directory viewers or other programs.
Did ffmpg has write access in the destination directory? Try Fun Expander with adim rights and give ffmpg also admin rights.

I ran Fun Expander as admin first and no improvement.
I checked the ffmpg and a far as my knowledge goes it has write rights. Anyway it works with other programs. Still no fix.
I remember some program similar to this that I used that did not work until I downloaded an older version of ffmpg. Cannot find the thread for that program or which versions worked and which did not. I may try that later.
Try ffmpeg from the command line and see if that works for you. See How to get started with scripting and go down to the section called How to improve performance when stepping frame by frame in JFS.
This is the interesting part:
Use the following command line after changing paths and video file names:
“C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe” -i “C:\MyScriptingFolder\source_video_file_name” -filter:v “scale=2048:-1” -intra -qp 30 -acodec copy “C:\MyScriptingFolder\desination_video_file_name.mp4”
Change the path to where your ffmpeg.exe is located.
Change the path and file name to the file you want to convert.
Change the path and file name of the output file.
If this doesn’t work then something is really fishy with your computer.

Yes this does work. This does not help my confusion for this whole issue. But I will use this command directly to ffmpeg for now. Thanks.
Fun Expander is not doing anything else than automize the command line entry. And if i understand @hosenguy right, the command window for ffmpeg has opened after selecting the video file. I have no clue what’s going wrong there.
The command window should look like this while converting:
With a long video (big file size) it should stay for some minutes or hours. You have to wait until it is closing itself, then your new file should be available. Don’t close this window manualy, this would stop the converting.
I’m having trouble getting ffmpeg. I download it from the site, extract it twice and then can’t find the .exe within the folder. Am I missing something? I downloaded the “ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2.”
Try this one @Glove, to see if it helps, its the one I personally use : 60.23 MB file on MEGA
