Gmerlin transoder can transcode every supported input file to any of the supported output files. It has some unique features, which seperate it from other transcoding applications. Most notably:
All settings are configured for each stream separately. This means, different streams can have different formats, different filters and even different codecs (of course only if the container supports it)
There are plugins for exporting subitles to separate files or to the same file, where the A/V data gets written. Alternatively, you can blend subtitles onto the video frames (for containers, which don’t support subtitles).
Finding out the right encoder parameters can be a time-consuming task.
gmerlin_transcoder
allows you to save all settings and load them later.
Once you have found out your favourite encoder settings for a specific task,
transcoding is a matter of
There are postprocessors, which take the encoded files and make e.g. Audio CDs (with cdtext) from it. It also contains a frontend for cdrdao, so you can burn them as well.
gmerlin_transcoder
imports all chapter seekpoints from the source, and writes
them into the file (currently only supported for Quicktime and mp4).
You can also edit chapter lists or create new ones
gmerlin_transcoder
lets you import, edit and export language codes for
the Audio- and subtitle streams
For plugins, which support it, we can do 2-transcoding. There is also a generic volume normalizer built in.
There is a tasklist, in which the tracks are queued. All newly loaded tracks get the globally configured settings (plugins, formats, filters). You can then fine-tune the tracks by configuring them individually. Changing track parameters for multiple tracks at once isn’t possible. Instead, make the settings, save them to a profile and load the profile before loading the tracks.
