Here's a gui I put together for ffmpeg supported file types (video, audio, and images).

You will need yad and ffmpeg installed to use this. Depending on the type of file you open with yff you'll have a different gui with various conversion and extraction options.

This is basically a yad version of code from my gtkdialog programs ffvid, ffaudio, and ffpic.

0.4 - minor tweaks
0.5 - bugfixes
0.6 - added the ability to split audio file on chapter marks and some more bugfixes
0.7 - added audio option to downmix with amix filter and ability to concatenate audio files
0.8 - added more audio and video options
0.9 - added an explanation of what the program can do when opening from the menu
1.0 - Improved some code thanks to @step
1.1 - minor updates
1.2 - bugfixes
1.3 - added a cut+concatenate (cut multiple portions of video and join them together, eliminating unwanted sections of video) option for videos at request of @smokey01
1.4 - added some improvements in the image conversion portion of the script and a bugfix
1.5 - modified code to use a yad tail viewer instead of a terminal pop up
1.6 - bugfix for concatenating files
1.7 - bugfixes, added more options, simplified others
1.8 - removed the gtk buttons, simplified the drag and drop screen and added an information button to display all the extra information
1.9 - cleaned up some code
2.0 - modified how subtitles are handled when converting, found some videos that wouldn't convert with the old code but do now.
2.1 - added option to drop subtitles if they are of a type that your version of ffmpeg doesn't support. Unsupported subtitles will mess up the conversion process if you attempt to convert or copy them.

0.2 is up. Fixed a bug in the concatenate video section and did some improvements in the language conversion for non-english.

ugh, still a bug in the concatenate video portion. Will have to dig in to it after work...

0.3 is up. The concatenate video function should be working properly now. I also added an option to suppress attached images when converting an audio file with attached images from one format to another.

updated to 0.4

Thanks, plinej for the pet. I haven't done more than try it under Bionicpup64-revival. Used its defaults to convert an flv to mkv. The GUI was easy to understand. I picked an flv file in the perhaps mistaken belief that it would be the most challenging to convert. Worked great. And resulted in something I hadn't expected. The flv was 12 Mbs. The rendered mkv was 7.253 Mbs.

I have just now discovered yff!

Do those letters stand for anything?

Have just tested a 5.3MB mp4, convert to mkv -- result is 6.2MB just used the defaults.
Played both, they look the same as far as I can tell.

Test an old 13MB flv to mp4... using defaults, result is 14MB.

Good app.
Suggest maybe a bit of text in the first window, explaining that yff does.

@BarryK, it's just "y" for yad and "ff" for ffmpeg. I'll see about adding some more information about what the program can do in the first window.

0.9 is up

1.2 is up

It works in fatdog64 to cut video. I tested.
Thanks for making this. It should be useful.
I was previously using avidemux but yff is simpler.

This is quite nice but it needs a cut and join option to get rid of unwanted bits of the video.
Nice work.

@smokey01, Once you cut all your portions of video put them all in a directory by themselves and use the concatenate option. I suppose I could add an option to input time selections of the video you want and then cut and concatenate all in one step.

I think that would be very useful if it's not to much trouble. Thanks.

@plinej

The initial dialog box looks like this for me. Is this an issue with my version of Yad?

Finally, just a cosmetic issue re: gtk included in the dialog boxes

Works well

1.8 is up. @Jasper, this should fix the cosmetic issues...

1.9 is up

I see 1.8 not 1.9.

@smokey01, hmm... I'm seeing 1.9
