Getting it going
| System | Download | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Linux (x64) | vidctrl-0.2.0-linux-x64.tar.gz |
Unpack it and run vidctrl in the folder |
| Windows (x64) | vidctrl-0.2.0-windows-x64.zip |
Unpack it and run vidctrl.exe |
| macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) | vidctrl-0.2.0-macos.dmg |
Open it and drag VidCtrl to Applications |
FFmpeg is included, so nothing else needs installing. It is FFmpeg 8.1,
unmodified builds under the GNU GPL version 3; assets/licenses/ffmpeg.txt says whose builds
they are and where their source code is.
The Windows app is not signed, so Windows asks before running it for the
first time: "Windows protected your PC" → More info → Run anyway.
The macOS app is not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS refuses to open
it. After dragging it to Applications, open Terminal and run this once; then
VidCtrl opens like any other app:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/VidCtrl.appSo far only the Linux build has been tried on a real machine; the Windows and
macOS builds come straight from the build servers. On Windows, stopping a
conversion part-way has failed in tests, and pausing and keeping the computer
awake are not there yet.
Changes
- Publish the macOS download before it is notarized, with how to open it
- Fix the folder test on Windows, which expected forward slashes
- Bring FFmpeg 8.1 inside the app, with a way to use another
- Give the app its own identifier, app.camctrl.vidctrl
- Fix the archive quality measurement and set every encoder to 42 dB
- Close the window and cancel a conversion at once
- Say "only the sound" under Resolve Studio, not "no re-encoding"
- Show camera files with upper-case names in the file dialog on Linux
- Fix silent sound and an early picture in "Edit in DaVinci Resolve"
- Rename the app to VidCtrl
- Replace "Make it small" with "For the archive", with matched quality
