Hi Andrew, and thanks very much! I'm working with the November 21 AppImage and I have extracted it and I assume in the AppImage the path would be /squashfs-root/usr/bin/ffmpeg/video/? It seems so because I copied your file there and by running Cin from the extracted AppImage I successfully rendered a working MKV file with H.264+WAV! Is there a command I can run to re-compress the AppImage and get it back to it's binary form? Thanks so much for your quick attention on this, I will wait for you guys to decide if this is a future addition, in the meantime I have a working solution to use! Nice to hear from Phyllis and Sam too! Best, Glen --- On 2025-12-30 22:07, Andrew Randrianasulu via Cin wrote:
I just copied modified h264_vaapi.mkv as h264.mkv (attached ) to
/usr/share/cin/ffmpeg/video/
and it seems to work with s24/s32 as sound encoder for mkv container..

Hi Glen, nice to hear from you. I'm sorry about the forum. We are currently in the process of completely revamping the website, so there may still be some issues with certain functions. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon. As for the technical question, some of our supporters and developers will certainly be able to answer that better than I can. Thank you for your loyalty to Cin-GG. Happy New Year to you too.

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.
Mov presets live in ffmpeg/qt category, mostly.
Try faststart_h264.qt (modify to taste) + s16le.qt/s32le.qt ?
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
