One could argue that sinthgunt is not the most obvious name for a new project but since other obvious names as ffmpeg-gui and easy-ffmpeg was already spoken for sinthgunt became the name of the game. On our wikipage detailed installation instructions for Ubuntu 8.10/9.04/Debian, openSuse 11, Fedora 10 and Mandriva 2009.1 can be found here wiki – installation.
Sinthgunt is purely open source, written in Python and licensed under GNU GPLv3. It is easy to extend, since the conversion settings are stored in a xml file. It automatically detects which presets are supported by your version of ffmpeg. It has more than 100 pre-configured conversion settings. Sinthgunt is an easy to use gui for ffmpeg. In fact we found it so useful that we believe others would benefit from our work and hence we published the code on FeaturesĮven though many other ffmpeg GUI’s exist we believe that the projects features contributes to the ease of using ffmpeg and as such deserves a place on the internet. As it is almost always the case development is very fast in python and quickly we had created something useful. Sintgunt started out as a python pet-project for the two of us to learn creating GUI’s using python-gtk. For a while my good friend Kåre Hartvig Jensen and I have been coding on a project called sinthgunt.
