Top 11 X264 Open-Source Projects

• staxrip

  33 2,018 9.6 Visual Basic .NET

  🎞 Video encoding GUI for Windows.

  

Project mention: HandBrake 1.7.0 – The open source video transcoder | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-19

Its literally a feature of all the underlying encoders. And you can do it even with exotic ffmpeg/vapoursynth filter chains. So I can't imagine why.

TBH I would just recommend Staxrip if you are on Windows: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip

There is a linux equivalent, I can't remember what its called.

Or maybe some av1an GUI for Mac/Linux. All of these things support a target file size with many more features.
