Recoder is a GTK4 video transcoding application for Linux built for GNOME using libadwaita.
It’s aimed at people who need to turn footage from different devices into 1920×1080 DNxHD files for smoother editing in DaVinci Resolve, while keeping the original videos untouched.
This is free and open source software.

- Accepts drag and drop input and previews the files that will be processed.
- Uses FFmpeg to support a wide range of input formats.
- Rotates vertical videos during transcoding to preserve quality.
