Back in 2012, as a college student, I originally developed IFME to compress FRAPS game recordings using x264 for archiving. My friends appreciated IFME for its simplicity and lightweight design, which led to the birth of Internet Friendly Media Encoder (IFME).
A versatile, future-proof, and expandable multimedia encoder designed for ease of use. Internet Friendly Media Encoder supports adding subtitles and attachments, and can function as a remuxing tool with a Copy Stream option. It allows you to combine multiple video, audio, subtitle, and attachment streams into a single file, remove unwanted streams, or incorporate subtitles from another video without extracting. The software also supports AviSynth for advanced video processing.
The video and audio encoders are implemented in a plug-in style, enabling users to add their own compiled, optimized CPU architectures for increased speed. This modular design ensures that the encoder remains adaptable and expandable, allowing for the addition of new and future encoding technologies.

- Microsoft Visual C++ (ALL)
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 Windows 7 Only
For Ubuntu (Linux) you need:
mono-complete(Mono Runtime)- Technically, IFME can run on Linux; however, the
Pluginsfolder is built only for Windows. You might need to build your own versions ofFFmpeg,x264,x265, etc., and replace the Windows binaries for now.
IFME no longer support 32-bit since High Resolution (QHD, UHD), High BitDepth require very large RAM
- OS: 64-bit Windows 10 & Linux (Ubuntu, etc...)
- CPU: Intel Core i9 10th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- RAM: 8GB DDR4 (QHD and below)
- RAM: 16GB DDR4 (UHD and above)
- HDD: 70GB (UHD, HDR temp disk)
You can download it @
Note
VideoHelp & SoftPedia might take time to have latest version, since I not manage the page, however SourceForge is always have latest version, sometime I forgot to release on GitHub Release
Windows users simply execute ifme.exe, meanwhile Linux users simply execute ifme.sh via Terminal Emulator
Internet Friendly Media Encoder includes built-in hardware acceleration for H264, H265, and AV1 using FFmpeg and Rigaya.
Warning
For high-efficiency encoding (high quality + low bit rate), it is recommended to use CPU-based encoders. Hardware acceleration offers faster encoding speeds but may compromise on quality and bit rate efficiency.
Clone this project and open ifme.sln via Visual Studio 2022, by default VS2022 will download Newtonsoft.Json from nuget automatically.
