How to Make Presets For WinFF
Updated Feb 4, 2010 by bgg...@gmail.com

Making presets for WinFF is not difficult, it's learning the ffmpeg command line. All in all the ffmpeg command line really isn't that complicated considering what's being done.

So, say we wanted to create h264 preset.

The first thing to do is some googling for the h264 codecs and specification. I found that h264 requires "aac" audio codec and the video codec for ffmpeg is appropriately named "h264" (not always the case). H264 is also a mp4 file format so the extension (and also the container for ffmpeg) is "mp4"

To create the preset for it:

open WinFF

go to the filemenu and select edit presets and the preset editor will appear:

Enter the following for the name,label, command line, and extension:

name: h264

label: h264

command line: -acodec aac -vcodec h264

output file extension: mp4

Click "Add/Update"

Click OK to add the preset

Click SAVE to save the presets and return to winff

Try out your new Preset ;)

also remember different codecs need different bitrates, frame rates, etc...

is anyone interested in a high quality, low size preset? it is appropriate for mobile devices and extremely low powered computers. it is an xvid avi with high quality mp3 audio. the preset is below.

-vcodec xvid -vtag dx50 -s 640x480 -aspect 4:3 -maxrate 3000k -b 1050k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 300000 -bf 1 -i_qoffset 150 -b_qoffset 150 -g 300 -acodec mp3 -ar 44100 -ab 320k -ac 2

What would the preset syntax be to convert to an animated GIF? I am successful creating individual GIF frames using the command line "ffmpeg -i "my.avi" my%d.gif"

@ aroupdhr...@gmail.com

h264 is the old name for the encoder now called libx264.

Maybe you also need to install libavcodec-52-extra

It would be really good if someone could suggest some low size preset for 1080 MOV. as many digital cameras record in MOV and the size of the files is just enormous so a conversion to smaller size avi keeping good quality output would be very useful

Hello, can someone explain in simple word how can mux 2 files in winff for windows? I have this preset

-s 480x320 -vcodec libx264 -acodec libfaac -ac 1 -ar 32000 -r 15 -ab 32000 -aspect 3:2

created for google android that works perfect but I need to use the same preset value to create an output file from these 2 files c:\vary\part1.mp4 c:\vary\newvoice.wav how I can do it? I also tried but unsuccessfully to run it from the command prompt Thank you

from my part ffmpeg sucks at muxing. Use ffmpeg to encode the tracks separately and use mkvtoolnix for muxing.

I am searching for a preset for .amr files to put them on a phone that will not play mp3's. Can anyone help?

Comment by project member poipodec...@hotmail.com, Nov 30, 2011

@kamial... Feel free to ask you question in the e-mail forum, which is a better place for this question: http://groups.google.com/group/winff/?pli=1

Here's an AVI XViD setting if you want to convert something into XViD.. Please make sure to correct the FPS (Frames per second) according to your video source!! So change "-r 23.976" if needed. (-r 23.976 = NTSC,-r 25.00 = PAL,-r 29.97 = NTSC) This preset will convert the video to 624x352 resolution,16:9 Widescreen,Max Videobit rate 1000kpbs,audio 128kbps (if you want to change the audio bitrate,modify "-ab 128k" as you like. This should be pretty perfect setting for converting TV shows..

-f avi -r 23.976 -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -s 624x352 -aspect 16:9 -maxrate 1000k -b 950k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128k -ac 2
