Comment on C4illin/ConvertX: Self-hosted online file converter that supports 1000+ formats
atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 11 hours agoI’m genuinely confused about the use cases you all seem to have. When are you sitting in a field on your phone trying desperately to convert a .avi to a .mkv?
For desktops you just need to have ffmpeg or handbrake or ImageMagick installed - there’s nothing to “maintain”. Image conversion is as simple as convert test.jpg test.png.
