💖 qwinff — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the QWinFF page. yes this is the qwinff(1) man page, yes we're doing this together, and yes it's gonna slay.

✨ NAME ✨

QWinFF — literally a media converter GUI. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qwinff [file1 [file2]] ...

that's it. that's the summoning ritual. 🪄

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. QWinFF is a GUI for FFmpeg [#ffmpeg]_, and FFmpeg is a command line media converter. key word: command line. which is exactly why your girl is here — QWinFF puts a whole pretty face on it so you don't have to type out ancient incantations. ✨

FFmpeg can read audio and video files in various formats and convert them into other formats. for example — and this one's iconic — you can convert video downloaded from the Internet into audio files for your mobile phone. 🎧 like, that random 40-minute video essay? boom. now it's a podcast episode. no cap.

QWinFF comes with a set of predefined presets to help you quickly convert media files without having to know the details. these presets define what arguments should be passed to ffmpeg for each output format. she's doing the homework for you. 🫶

and in case you do want to adjust the details (bitrate, audio volume, etc.) — because sometimes you're a control freak and that's valid — QWinFF lets you edit conversion parameters for each individual task. one task at a time, your rules. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • [file1 [file2]] ... — input files separated by spaces. these files can be any kind of media files that FFmpeg can decode. so like… basically anything. dump them all in there bestie, space-separated, and let her cook. 🔥
