About Videomass
Videomass is a graphical front end for FFmpeg aimed at both beginners and advanced users. It lets you run conversions and other FFmpeg tasks through a multitasking interface instead of typing command lines.
The yt-dlp downloader that used to be built into Videomass has moved to a separate project, Vidtuber, so Videomass now focuses on FFmpeg work. It suits people who want FFmpeg's range of formats and options without memorising its syntax.
