JEFF (Java Easy FFmpeg)

JEFFmpeg main interface

Inspiration

FFmpeg is an extremely powerful file processing tool, but it can be difficult to use even for familiarized users. To make more common and repetitive tasks simpler to use, we made a GUI interface that contains functionality for converting file types and compresses to a desired size for both video and audio file formats.

What It Does

This program contains functionality for compressing files and convertingbetween different file types. It can handle a wide array of several video and audio files.

Built With:

Java
JavaFX
NO generative AI ## Challenges We Ran Into
Making it in a manner that worked for all operating systems (we wanted the program to work on both Windows and Unix-based systems without having multiple builds)
Managing concurrency in JavaFX, a single-threaded application
Reading and handling FFmpeg output in real time ## Accomplishments That We're Proud Of
Full Windows and Unix compatibility from a single build.
Compressing audio and video files as close to the desired file size as consistently possible. ## What We Learned
Detecting and handling different operating systems in Java.
More layout and style confidence in JavaFX. ## What's Next For JEFFmpeg
Image support.
Video to GIF support.
