h.264 to VP9

This application is a frontend for ffmpeg to convert h.264 videos to VP9 on linux.

Some use cases:

• VP9 is open, h.264 is proprietary
• Davinci Resolve on linux supports VP9 but not h.264 because of licenses.

Building

You need a c++23 capable compiler. static binary of raylib 6.0 inside bin/ folder. (libraylib.a). Everything else is provided in the repo.

make test
make release

The output binary is in `build/release`

Usage

Open the binary, drag you files in, set your quality and go! If you want to finetune the parallel jobs/threads per job you can ofcourse tweak that

The output will be in the source folder, in a new subfolder `CONVERTED`

LMM Usage

LMM tools have been used to help with the multithreading part of the application. This is due to my own skill issues with multithreading in C++ and I needed this tool done quite quickly. I also used LLM's as glorified search engine for raylib/ImGui documentation.
