After Zeranoe stopped compiling in September 2020, recently the compilation can be downloaded directly from SourceForge (via the "Download" button). In principle, however, it should work with any package. Therefore it probably offers the best compatibility. Multimedia Xpert was originally developed and tested with the compilation of Zeranoe. The releases have a simple version number like 4.0.2. It's recommended to always use the static version and a release build, not the "nightly builds" (which have a date in the name). Otherwise you would lose a lot of processing power. Do not install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit processor, take 64-bit. When installing your ffmpeg package, be sure to install the appropriate version to the corresponding bit width of your processor. So unlike most competing products, Multimedia Xpert does not require you to wait for a newer version.

If you install a successor version of ffmpeg, new formats and encoders will be immediately available in Multimedia Xpert. In the future, however, Multimedia Xpert is to be expanded anyway, so that the need for manual commands will strive towards zero.Īlso when looking at the file formats and encoders Multimedia Xpert is supporting it's a complete GUI for ffmpeg, since the available formats are queried at the start from ffmpeg. You can easily add features or options that are not yet graphically controllable in the current version in text form. Although you can graphically configure maybe 90% of the most frequently performed tasks, it has input fields for adding customized options at all important places of the generated command line. In the theoretical sense, Multimedia Xpert is a complete GUI for ffmpeg. To be able to do this it knows 250 video coding methods and 180 audio coding methods (codecs). Currently, it's about 100 MB in size, recognizes about 300 file formats and can write about 160 formats. It is constantly being further developed by countless programmers and is available to the public for free (open source). ffmpeg is a huge library for the processing of video, audio and subtitle files of any format. Multimedia Xpert is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the command line program ffmpeg.
