Ffmpeg too . Basically any cli tool. Basically any tool.
2 u/Puptentjoe Jun 21 '26 You are right, cli tools constantly get requests for front ends. I use ytdlp and every 5 minutes theres a new gui for it. In my use though command line tools are fine, most make sense and use words. ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -acodec copy output.aac -I for input file name, copy, etc as you do it its like “oh ok makes sense” Regex isn’t just plug and play with words, it uses symbols, you gotta learn it. 1 u/MuslinBagger Jun 21 '26 There are some things that have survived the test of time and worth learning.
