WINFF(1)

💖 WINFF — the manual page, but make it slay 💖

okay bestie, so this is the winff manual page. yes, the one. it lives in the WINFF(1) section of the manual, and honestly? she's short but she's iconic. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

winff — video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg or avconv 🎀

fr fr, that's the whole name line. batch convert your media, and it's doing it through ffmpeg or avconv. that's the vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

winff

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no arguments, nothing. you just run it. main character energy honestly 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents briefly the winff command. heads up though — this manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution, and that's because the original program does not have a manual page. nope. instead, it has documentation in pdf format; peep the SEE ALSO section below for the deets 🫶

WinFF is a graphical user interface for the command line video converter ffmpeg or avconv. it literally runs ffmpeg or avconv from the command line for you. so, you just pick your files and it does the rest. bestie behavior, honestly 💖

and here's the part that lowkey trips people up: WinFF doesn't actually convert any video files. it doesn't! it just runs ffmpeg or avconv. therefore, it will convert any video file that ffmpeg or avconv will convert. conversely — and this is the flip side — if ffmpeg or avconv will not convert the file, then WinFF will not either. no cap. it's a cute face on top of the real engine 😭

so basically: WinFF is the aesthetic, ffmpeg/avconv is the muscle. don't come for WinFF when the underlying converter says no 🙈
