              Note: much of the benefits and downsides of gtk4 you mentioned are actually libadwaitas up and downsides.

              This is misleading. GTK4 is very themable.

              However many projects use libawaita which forces a specific style, in order to design a complex and well integrated UI.

        Better wayland support, better icons, and idk what else

        Also better performance through GPU acceleration

          So GTK3 doesn’t have GPU acceleration?? Does Qt have it?

            GTK3 did not. That’s a big reason 4 exists.

              Hmm hmm idk why a new protocol(incompatibe with GTK3) is required for that feature

                Well the core of a toolkits api is rendering… so when rendering is completely redesigned the api is going to change.

            It seems that Qt5 and Qt6 have GPU acceleration in multiple areas, but I dont understand their landscape with QtWidgets etc.

      It basically converts videos between formats, standards of compression, encoders, subtitles, dimensions… It’s pretty useful for trimming the size of a video to fit a particular medium.

        What is the benefit to using this as opposed to just straight ffmpeg?

          As far as I know it is just an ffmpeg wrapper

          So you are an oxygen to carbon dioxide converter? Because the answer is yes but I am guessing this is not a very complete answer for what you are.

          He told you what it was. It is much more than a front-end for FFMPEG.

      In the days of DVDs, Blockbusters and Netflix sending out DVDs, this was mostly used to rip DVDs.

    Meh, I use the UI for like ten minutes and let it transcode multiple collection of seasons over the course of a weekend.

    It’s a little nicer and a tad faster but it really doesn’t make a big difference unless they improve transcoding speeds/quality. Otherwise I don’t really touch it unless I buy a new box set or go to a garage sale.

    If anyone’s curious I rip full quality media with make mkv and point handbrake at the folder to compress it with hevc.

      I’m not sure what your comment is supposed to contribute. Should the developers stop developing the software? What changes do you expect?

        You don’t have to be combative, all I was saying is the gui doesn’t make much difference to me. It worked perfectly fine before and I’m sure it’ll keep working just as well as before.

        What would make a bigger difference is improvements to the backend seeing that it effects over 90% of the experience and usability of the app. I spend less time in the gui than I do renaming files in my file manager or even the make mkv app.

        I’ve already said that but I guess you didn’t read past the first line. I didn’t say give up on development I said who cares about a change in graphics toolkit.

            It’s annoying but you can do multiple transcodes at a time on everything but Linux. It’s only annoying because the complexity of h265 means it’s highly serialized compared to older codecs.

            I could easily handle multiple transcodes at a time on my 12 core processor with dvds but something like 4k blueray and sometimes hd blueray (depending on the complexity) saturates my processor. It doesn’t run transcodes in a separate process

            Did they add support in this version?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
