video-compressor's Issues

Can make this library in java

Hi developer can make this library in java or kotlin?

Program crashes when compressing

I select a video, enter a size, press compress and it just crashes,

This is whats left in command line:

C:\Users\ryanp\Documents\video compressor>CheezosVideoCompressor_v3.0.0.exe

temp file remains after compression

Happens with every conversion.

Request: Set file size by percentage of original

Hey, really cool tool. Exactly the simplicity I was looking for. It would be great if I could just throw in videos of different sizes, and for each individual video the target size of the converted video will be x% of the original video, e.g. 50% or 33%. Thanks a bunch!

Request, merge all audio tracks into one

I'm trying to compress videos with two audio tracks but just one is saved into the compressed video

Program crashes as soon as I hit "compress"

I've tried with mp4 and webm files of varying sizes and lengths (including less than 1 min ones). All of them crash the moment I select compress.

I tried changing the file names to just have letters in case some special characater was messing it up but that didn't fix it either.

Choosing different compression sizes didn't help either.

I'm not sure what I can do at this point. There are no errors or anything, the program simply shuts down the second I hit compress.

Feature Requests

• Add a progress bar at the bottom
• Option to compress files to same directory as the original (with suffix) or some custom directory

Windows: Tool does not work if spaces are present in the path to ffmpg

If ffmpg/video-compressor is downloaded to a location with spaces in its path name, the utility will fail citing incorrect clip parameters (even if clipping is disabled) - in this case it was because I had downloaded the tool to "Chrome Downloads"
You can see in the command line window that it errors about X not being a valid place or executable, where X is the file path up to the space.

Straight forward workaround is to drop the tool off elsewhere else so the path does not use spaces.

Windows 10

Love the tool by the way!

CLI version possible?

could a version without qt with a single input file be possible? would love to run on android with termux, but qt prevents this

Request, add option for chosing GPU instead of CPU (h264_nvec)

Make it prompt to use gpu or cpu
