SmartFFmpeg 1.6.3

Although FFmpeg is a versatile tool, its command-line interface can be overwhelming for non-technical users.

Making FFmpeg Accessible

The purpose of SmartFFmpeg is to make FFmpeg more accessible by providing a user-friendly interface and useful features like predefined presets.

SmartFFmpeg is designed for ease of use, primarily handling tasks like extracting audio from videos, converting audio to MP3, and converting videos for mobile devices.

With this tool, you don’t need to memorize complex parameters anymore.

Instead, you can rely on presets for common conversions, including mobile video formats (3GP, H263 and H264), FLV (Flash Video), MP4 (PSP), MPEG2 (DVD), AVI (XviD+MP3), WEBM (VP8+Vorbis) and audio formats like MP3, AC3 (5.1), and WAV (s16le).

You can also extract audio tracks, such as AC3, AAC, or MP3.

SmartFFmpeg also offers drag-and-drop file importing, automatic update checks, preset output names and file extensions, and customizable process priority for ffmpeg.exe. You can apply general settings to all tasks or customize them individually for each task.
