Edconv is a desktop application that gives FFmpeg a more approachable graphical interface for audio and video work.
Instead of relying entirely on terminal commands, users can manage common conversion tasks from a GUI while still taking advantage of FFmpeg’s power. The project also documents Linux installation options including Flatpak, AppImage, and Debian packages, and prompts users to select a local FFmpeg binary on first launch.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Convert both video and audio files with FFmpeg.
- Queue multiple jobs and monitor them as they run.
- Pass custom FFmpeg arguments for advanced control.
- View detailed processing logs from inside the application.
- Inspect media information before processing files.
- Run VMAF, PSNR, and SSIM quality analysis from the GUI.
