Simple Convert is a small application in which you can convert multiple files to another file type at once using FFMPEG.

What can I do with it?

SimpleConvert is a small application to convert video and/or audio files to any filetype using ffmpeg. This application aims to provide an easy to understand interface so everyone will be able to use the power of ffmpeg.

Required packages

Building

qt5-devel

Installing

qt5
ffmpeg

How to build

Linux

$ qmake
$ make install

And then run simpleconvert

Windows

This method assumes you're using the Microsoft build tools.

> qmake
> nmake release

To be able to run SimpleConvert you need to copy all the necessary Qt .dll files to the same location as simpleconvert.exe so the binary can find the required libraries.

Packaging

RPM package

$ cd data/packaging/RPM
$ spectool -g simpleconvert.spec
$ fedpkg --release f28 local

This will create a RPM file which you can install using you package manager.

Flatpak bundle

$ cd data/packaging/flatpak
$ flatpak-builder --repo=simpleconvert_repo simpleconvert net.bartkessels.SimpleConvert.json
$ flatpak build-bundle simpleconvert_repo simpleconvert.flatpak net.bartkessels.SimpleConvert

This will create a flatpak bundle called simpleconvert.flatpak. To install the flatpak bundle just run the flatpak install command.

$ flatpak install simpleconvert.flatpak

Once installed you can run it from flatpak

$ flatpak run net.bartkessels.SimpleConvert

Pre-built binaries

RPM from COPR

If you're running fedora you can easily install SimpleConvert from COPR.

$ dnf copr enable bartkessels/simpleconvert
$ dnf install simpleconvert

simpleconvert's Issues

Add Dutch translation

Check if file exist

Before trying to convert a file make sure they exist

Add RPM specfile

Create specfile to generate RPM packages

Add setting to allow quicker cancellation of conversion

Add a setting that specifies whether or not the user should be prompted with a message asking whether or not the conversion should be cancelled.

Current flow:

User clicks on Stop Conversion
Application asks if the user really wants to stop the conversion
User clicks Yes
User stops the conversion

Proposed flow:

User sets a setting to never prompt the user when cancelling

If the setting is set to 'Always prompt'

The Current flow is being executed

If the setting is et to 'Never prompt'

User clicks on Stop Conversion
Application stops the conversion

Create docs

Create SRS and SDD (see Advanced Metronome for examples)

Setting to remove files from list

Add a setting to let the user decide whether or not a converted file should be removed from the list.

So when the user is converting a couple of files, after each file that's converted that file should be removed from the list

Getting `flatpak non-exportable filename` when building flatpak

When building the flatpak bundle this error gets thrown for each icon file, perhaps has to do with renaming the flatpak json from simpleconvert to SimpleConvert since this issue didn't occur before

flatpak non-exportable filename

Files not found

When converting a file it says that it can't find the ffmpeg module.

I've debugged a little bit and it seems that ffmpeg cannot find the specified files.
