Question: lossless conversion?
Anonanon opened this issue · comments
This isn't an issue but a question. If I leave the bitrate and filesize fields blank, will this perform a lossless conversion to webm instead? I want to convert a few videogame bink videos losslessly to webm.
No, if you leave the bitrate and filesize blank, the program will always use 300 Kb/s.
If you want lossless conversion, just put in a huge number in the bitrate field, like 30000 or something. A bitrate higher than the bitrate of the source video makes ffmpeg use a bitrate equal to the source video, which is lossless.
I just discovered this the hard way but there should be a field for crop end, not just crop length. I'm doing this by just watching my source videos, so determining the exact length is more work than it should be.
By the way some users are encountering "system cannot find the file specified" when trying to convert. What does this mean?
For the crop end thing, I'll have to take a look at the ffmpeg documentation again.
And for that second error, that could be because they put an invalid character like " in the input/output filename.
yeah a crop end setting would be perfect
I've added a crop end setting, so I think I can close this.
