Glen, I was hoping to be able to figure out how to create the mov/mkv h264 combo in time to include in the AppImages I create tomorrow but no success. If someone else creates one overnight, I will include it. On Tue, Dec 30, 2025 at 4:15 PM AVLinux via Cin <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Cin-GG folks!
I'm Glen from AV Linux, I had gotten busy and away from the Cin forum but I'm still a hardcore Cin-GG User and I still include Cin-GG in every AV Linux release. I was quite concerned when the Cin forum and downloads were offline for so long and I was hoping the project was still going, now I see the downloads are back but I couldn't seem to log into the forum so I thought I'd just join the mailing list. Thank you for all you do to keep this project going, I know it is neither fun nor easy much of the time to maintain a large open-source project..
On to my question:
I had a read of the Cin manual about adding ffmpeg options and I'm a little lost on how to do what I want, I also use and distribute the AppImage version so I'd also like to avoid cracking open every AppImage release to add some custom options. I do a lot of Concert film restorations these days and I like to work with the Video in Cin-GG and then import the Audio into Ardour so I have an unlimited choice of specialized Audio Plugins and a more ideal Audio-centered workflow. For my use case I really miss a MOV or MKV option to Render H.264 Video + WAV Audio, this combination seems to be missing from both the 'mov' and 'mkv' extension formats and H.264+WAV is a completely valid spec for both MOV and MKV containers. If I recall there is an h.264_vaapi option in mkv but my Video card doesn't support it.. With this Workflow I can import the whole Video file into Ardour and extract the Audio and then re-mux with the edited Audio and keep the MP4 Video without re-encoding the Video so this is why I'm asking an H.264 Render with an uncompressed WAV for further Audio editing. In general for an archiving option H.264+WAV is a decent combo as well so hopefully it would also be a useful addition beyond my needs.
Is it possible to get plain old H.264 + WAV in a MOV or MKV container (or even both) in a future release?
Thanks for considering and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all the Cin-GG folks!!
Best, Glen
