This may not be the place but I thought I’d give it a shot.

I need some guidance on video conversion software. I’ve pirated & tried Aiseesoft Video Converter, Wondershare UniConverter, VideoProc, Winxvideo AI & ffmpeg although I don’t do very well with the command line and can’t find one solution to do everything I need.

I’m seeking support for multiple file processing, custom profiles (resolution, aspect, etc.), all modern CODECs including HEVC, AV1/Opus, basic video editing, AMD Hardware Acceleration (have a Radeon RX 470 graphics card), hard and soft subtitles, audio normalization & constant rate or target bitrate control modes.

I’ve only ever found one software that would do all of these things & that was VSO’s ConvertXtoVideo. Unfortunately, the company has downsized & only has 1 or 2 programmers and while they claim to be working on an UHD Converter, all they have right now is an Alpha version which, basically, does nothing.

If anyone can steer me in the direction of a free or paid software that will do most of what I’m wanting I’d be very grateful.

    You seem to be not comfortable with cli tools and Handbrake was already mentioned so next you could try Movavi Video Converter but I recommend v21.3.0 you can get it from lrepacks (trustworthy) because it is better in features than their latest version.

      You know, I thought Movavi might have been it but then I run into the problem I seem to with all the others. For some reason, it states AMD GPU Acceleration is on but when I start converting, all my CPU cores go to 100%+ and the GPU sits barely working. It’s baffling! Urg!
