[idea] Integrated a/v transcoding tool

[forart]

I know that's not a priority but, in today *Tube days, it would be great to have an integrated easy tool to manage a/v file transcodings.

Something simple (and functional), non-invasive tool like this (a GPL FFMpeg/Mencoder GUI) would be great IMHO:

SGI's Video Converter GUI

Hope that inspires.

[Phalanx]

This is something most users don't use, can't agree on which one is best to use and can easily be downloaded and installed by the user. I don't see any reason it should be a core part of the system. No other programs rely on it or it's features.

[EmuandCo]

it wont be added as core app for sure, because windows does not have such a app by default too. but feel free to suggest me such a app which i can add to our rapps tool.

Windows have Movie Maker.

Windows have Movie Maker.

Not any more it doesn't; Movie Maker is now part of the Microsoft Live Essentials package and not shipped with Windows. Forget how it was with XP. ReactOS is not XP.

I agree with Phalanx and EmuandCo that this sort of application should not be part of a ReactOS install.

[EmuandCo]

as windows live addition. and movie maker is a joke and no app.

But Windows *has* WMP too (which is able to convert to WMA, etc. too)...

I mean that an easy tool that manages media files convertions would be really useful to any standard user, IMHO.

[gonzoMD]

but if I don't fail got MS judged not include the WMP to windows as core part in some countries, so you see that wmp does not belong to windows itself

Addictional note: Haiku *has* its own (bundled) MediaConverter...

[EmuandCo]

We hardly have working audio cards and you want a Media Converter... as you wish, find one which can be built with RosBE and I will ask the others.

[Haos]

First we need to be able to copy a whole CD to HDD without crashing... or run a single app several number of times.

And Linux has mplayer

I don't understand why would we care about what Haiku does or does not.

[rembrandt]

And Linux has mplayer

.....

Linux itself doesn't have mplayer; some Linux distro's have mplayer.

Indeed, what I mean is: Haiku is not NT clone, is BeOS clone, BeOS was thought for multimedia, BeOS clones are supossed to have an a/v transcoding tool by default, NT hasn't, I don't see why would it be one in ReactOS if you can easily download and install it (in a finished version, of course).

Then you wanna a Movie Maker clone ?
Sorry, i don't agree: i would prefer to have a *useful* tool to manage media transcodings.

BTW just an idea, don't worry.
