This new major version of Simple-Video-Converter marks a significant milestone with the arrival of Linux support and numerous improvements to enrich the user experience.

New Features

  • Dynamic Codec Management: Intelligent detection of available codecs based on the FFmpeg version used (embedded version or downloaded GPL version).

  • AV1 Support: Added (conditional) support for the AV1 video codec for compatible hardware.

  • New Themes: Customize the interface with two new visual themes: "Neon" and "Cyberpunk".

  • New Languages: The interface is now available in Spanish and Italian, in addition to French, English, and German.

Improvements

  • Log Management: Integration of an improved logging system for better tracking of operations and debugging.

  • Settings Persistence: Slider positions and user preferences are now saved and restored between sessions.

  • Startup Performance: Significant optimization reducing latency between the loading screen (splash screen) and the main interface.

Bug Fixes

  • User Interface: Adaptations and text corrections in dialog boxes for greater clarity.

  • Stability: Minor bug fixes and general improvements to application robustness.


Reminder for GPL Builds Support

For Microsoft users wishing to access the full range of advanced FFmpeg features, it is possible to use GPL-licensed versions:
ffmpeg-7.1.1-essentials_build or ffmpeg-7.1.1-full_build (for example).

These builds can be downloaded from the trusted site: 🔗 https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/

Once downloaded, the ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe executables can be integrated into the application via the "Configuration" tab, which allows specifying custom paths.
