I work mostly around multimedia, so a few video-related tools I've been working on lately:

1. FFmpeg command generator: https://alfg.github.io/ffmpeg-commander/

2. Web-based MP4 File Inspector: https://github.com/alfg/mp4-inspector

3. Web-based FFProbe: https://github.com/alfg/ffprobe-wasm

4. Rust MP4 library: https://github.com/alfg/mp4-rust

Also, trying to get a bit more familiar with Rust and Web Assembly.



FFmpeg one is great. Looks useful. I have few commands that I use saved in a note. Is there a way to support youtube videos?

E.g I use these

> youtube-dl -g "youtubelink"

> ffmpeg -ss 12:15 -i "1st-URL" -ss 12:15 -i "2nd-URL" -t 5:15 -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mkv

Both urls are for audio and video.


I haven't added support for multiple inputs yet, but I will soon. Thanks for checking it out!


Wow, I love the FFmpeg command generator. Have a use for it already. Thank you!
