Isn't creating a GUI for that a pretty big job? > I guess that depends on how focused you are, and how lazy/smart you are. Python has bindings for GUI widgets for example. As for me, I have a lot of video stored on in Google Drive. This is because I don't have a lot of local storage. I was thinking about creating a local NAS/fileserver, but I've had to prioritize other things in life. But say I had access to a server, and had videos stored there. Then I could find some streaming server, and create a small trimming client in for example HTML, Javascript and CSS. I just need to store the times locally, then these could be pushed back to the server, which runs fftrim in batch mode and that's that. Or, I could skip fftrim, stream videos from my Google Drive, save the video I want to keep locally, delete the raw footage and then upload the video I want to preserve. But anyway, I have a lot of things to think about now, so I'm not going to entertain the idea of creating a GUI any further at this point. > > It is file processing after all, and Perl should be good at that, I just > > never took the time to learn Perl. > > Search and substitute functions in perl use syntax like vi, > ed, sed and awk.

The commando-line, with pipes etc. is powerful and convenient. -Morten -- Videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBlogologue Twittering at http://twitter.com/blogologue Blogging at http://blogologue.com Playing music at https://soundcloud.com/morten-w-petersen Also playing music and podcasting here: http://www.mixcloud.com/morten-w-petersen/ On Google+ here https://plus.google.com/107781930037068750156 On Instagram at https://instagram.com/morphexx/ _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
