ffmprovisr VS camply

The Handbrake suggestion is a good one if your only interest is transcoding ... which barely scratches the breadth of what ffmpeg as a tool can do.

Try: https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/

for a 'better' ffmpeg CLI documentation, your mileage may vary, it's task and example focused.

Try: https://github.com/topics/ffmpeg-gui

for 66 variations on a GUI for ffmpeg of which I have no comment, I'm an old school CLI user through and through.

I wonder if you’ve seen this. And what about that you found useful and/or not useful.

ffmprovisr https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/

just put whatever you need in ffmpeg call in the loop i posted. it's all up to you, what encoder to use, what bitrate or CFR value, what resolution. i think you'll find this site helpful in getting what you want -> https://amiaopensource.github.io/ffmprovisr/ you'll find a shitload of examples there, that you can modify to suit your use case.

Adding Textual support to camply [1] was apparently very easy. I didn't to the implementation; I just contribute to the project sometimes: https://juftin.com/camply/command_line_usage/#tui

I've got an open-source project called camply. Here's the spiel:

I've built a free command line tool that helps with this - it's called camply: https://juftin.com/camply.

Here's a personal page built with Jekyll: https://juftin.com. And here's a Sphinx Page: https://juftin.com/camply. Both are actually hosted on GitHub pages for free.

I used this one once, but it only does campsite availability.

I came across a reddit post about a really neat tool somebody created to find openings at campgrounds on the recreation.gov website (after cancellations) and get notified immediately. This does not secure you the reservation, but instead uses the website's (public) API to link you to the booking page, from which you then select those dates that somebody else cancelled. It looks like this.

If you have a working understanding of how to run the below command and then your command line proficiency is likely enough to work with camply and you can feel free to start a discussion on GitHub to ask questions: https://github.com/juftin/camply/discussions
