FFMPEG Audio Encoder v2.8

Added FLAC input

FFMPEG Audio Encoder v2.7

Reworked how the program adds audio filters for FFMPEG.

This allows me to combine as many filters as I would like, giving me the ability to add a new feature.

Added 'Time Modification' Selection
This allows the user to change the audio to match the framerate of a specific film as well as slow down the audio significantly or speed it up. This was a request from a user. Now fully supported!

FFMPEG Audio Encoder v2.5

Added Support for Windows 7 x64 to Windows 10 x64

Added Batch Encoding:

• Added every codec to the batch encoder that was supported in main program

• Added a bunch of optional extensions, if you use common it will support most if not all extensions most people use. You have all files as an option, but this could break the batch program if you have a file with an extension that is something that doesn't belong. (.jpg or anything else that isn't audio/video)

• Cleaned up the UI for the program some

• Linked the drop down menu in main program where you can select "Debug" if you need to

• Added the ability to see all the command line options in batch form, in the batch window

• Added folder drag and drop (for the batch window). You can drag and drop a folder into the 'Open Directory' button or into the Entry Box to the right of it

• I adjusted 'Save Directory' to default to the folder that was opened for encoding instead of root of the program

• On the main GUI I removed the 'MediaInfo' button, it is replaced by the "Batch Process" button. However, I added a tools option in the menu bar, that will still allow you to use this feature like it was before. (If you have an input file opened, it will still open the program with that file automatically, if you don't it'll open the program up to where you can do what ever you like)

• I cleaned up a bunch of the code. Attempted to organize some things.

BETA
8/17/20
This BETA adds the "Time Modification" drop down menu to the AC3 codec. This is purely for testing purposes only, once fully tested it will be added to all codecs. This currently does not work for batch encoding via AC3 yet however.

FFMPEG Audio Encoder v2.1

New Features:

• Added Dolby Pro Logic II check box to all encoder windows other then 'E-AC3' (This is a default option in the advanced section of for this codec) - You can use Dolby Pro Logic II with any codec as long as you first set the channels to '2 (Stereo)'

• Changed the gain selection in all encoder windows from a drop down menu to a spinbox, giving more flexibility and making it look nicer
  (You can now select from -30 to 30)

Bug Fixes:

• QAAC encoder - adjust bitrate spinbox from 1 to 0 as the minimum. When set to 0 this enables the encoder to automatically use as much bitrate as possible.
• Fixed 'view command' line function from last update
• Fixed 'debug' option, that in some instances would fail
• Fixed the code for QAAC 'threading' option. This enabled the wrong command when selected, this is now fixed

FFMPEG Audio Encoder v2.0

Every codec has had a re-work. I double checked every codec and made the following changes:

AAC Encoder:

• Adjusted window size
• Removed some unnecessary row configurations
• Added custom command line for AAC codec
• Added ability to input Title
• Added VBR Toggle Option
• Organized all the AAC window code
• Added all supported channel options
• Added all supported sample rates

AC3 Encoder:

• Added all available bitrates to the drop down menu
• Removed unsupported audio channels and added all missing supported channel selections
• Removed unnecessary code for the 'gain' selection part of the AC3 codec
• Added '32000' to the sample rate drop down menu, completing all supported sample rates for this codec
• Adjusted command line with required changes
• Added 'View Command' Button
• Adjusted 'show commands' command line for the required changes
• Added custom command line input
• Added title entry box
• Added needed 'row configure' to keep buttons nice looking for different sized DPI settings (based on OS)
• Resized AC3 Settings window
• Set 'Apply' button in 'AC3 Settings' to close any/all 'View Command' windows that may or may not be up

DTS Encoder:

• Added Gain Options
• Added the option to encode
• Added Sample rate options
• Added custom command line input
• Set program to disable and set default unsupported options when using 'Reduce to Core' and 'Extract HD Track'
• Added the ability to 'View Commands' in the DTS Codec Menu
• Added audio channel options (This is limited by FFMPEG. There is only mono/stereo to choose from. IF you leave this set to
  'Original' and your track is 5.1 then when it encodes it will be 5.1)
• Updated main GUI show command line feature for this codec and all of it's selections

Opus Encoder:

• Added Constrained VBR to the list of VBR options, completeing Opus codecs vbr options
• Adjusted Audio Channel choices to only supported channels
• Removed 'Original' from the channels, as Opus requires channels to be specified, regardless of input.
  The default is now set to stereo, but can be changed to any of the supported channel layouts in the sub-menu.
  I am going to work on some work around to this in the future, but for a while this is how it will be. This is
  a limitation of FFMPEG/LibOpus.
• Removed unnecessary code from the 'Gain Choices' drop down menu
• Organized "Opus" code
• Added Custom Command line input
• Added a 'View Command' button
• Added sample rate drop down menu with all supported sample rates
• Adjusted window size of Opus codec
• Added Packet Loss spinbox (default is 0)
• Added Frame Duration spinbox (default is 20)
• Worked all new settings/features into the 'View Command' button in the 'Opus Settings' window
• Opus doesn't support holding 'Title' information so this feature will not be added to this codec
• Corrected supported bitrates from this codec

MP3 Encoder:

• Added all supported sample rates
• Added all supported bitrates for CBR
• Average bitrate choices will be based off of the CBR choices
• Added average bitrate check button
• Added VBR check button (This is enabled by default. Once you disable this you will have access to CBR/ABR options)
• Added ABR check button
• Added all options to "View Commands" in the MP3 Audio Settings window
• Added all options to the 'Show Commands' button in the main GUI
• Removed code that was no longer needed/shared with other codecs
• Resized the window to make everything look nice

• Added view command button
• Adjusted command line viewer for main gui
• Adjusted start job command line

E-AC3 Encoder:

FFMPEG Audio Encoder v1.75

When you press save file now there will be a default name based off of what the input is.
This already worked for auto save path, but this did not work properly when you actually pressed 'Save File".
This now has proper location and a default save name that can be changed.

Updated QAAC codec to 2.69. (Latest Version)

FFMPEG Audio Encoder v1.8

Cleaned up a lot of the code. Track detection now has no limit.

FFMPEG Audio Encoder v1.7

Have now successfully added QAAC audio encoder to the program.
This is piped from FFMPEG. All of it's features are added to the Audio Settings sub window once you select the encoder from the drop down menu.
I have also added some basic error windows for attempting to open un-supported file types.

This is complete for drag and drop as well as manually opening a file by selecting "Open File"
There could still be some missing file extensions that I don't know about, but currently it's a pretty decent sized list. If some more needs to be added please let me know so I can add them to the program ASAP.

FFMPEG Audio Encoder v1.5

Version 1.5:
Removed FFPROBE.exe from the program/code.
It not only makes the program smaller in size as a whole but it also fixes some things.

I have replaced it with MediaInfoCli, this allowed me to have a lot more control over the 'view streams' sub window in the codec selection.
This also allowed me to fix a small bug that was sometimes caused by tracks that have been improperly muxed, allowing the program to become confused and think there was 1 more track then there was. Track detection is now 100% accurate.

I have added a module to allow drag and drop to the GUI. You can now drag any supported file and drop it on the 'Open File' button or the text box beside it.

This still might be lacking some extensions, but I've got all the major ones covered. I'll research this further and add as many as I can in a later update.

On top of that, I tried to remove anything unnecessary to help with the false positive virus detection Windows does. Apparently it's a problem with pyinstaller .exes. So there might still be some false positives but it is rare.

FFMPEG Audio Encoder v1.45

Added FDK-AAC codec with all of it's advanced settings.

Improved the program in many ways under the hood.
