Binaries

Daily build (You need to download FFmpeg and FFprobe yourself, see below! Please note the attachments of this release are automatically created and replaced on every new commit.)

Requirements

FFmpeg & FFprobe:

Windows user:

Get latest package from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html I recommend the full (GPL) shared version. If you want to use native ffmpeg binding for much faster speed you must download the 5.0 stable shared version.

Extract ffmpeg and ffprobe into the same directory of VDF.GUI.dll. Or into a sub folder called bin. Or make sure it can be found in PATH system environment variable

Linux user:

Installing ffmpeg:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Open terminal in VDF folder and execute ./VDF.GUI You may need to set execute permission first sudo chmod 777 VDF.GUI

MacOS user:

Install ffmpeg / ffprobe using homebrew

Open terminal in VDF folder and execute ./VDF.GUI or if you have .NET installed dotnet VDF.GUI.dll You may get a permission error. Open system settings of your Mac, go to Privacy & Security and then Developer Tools. Now add Terminal to the list.
