MintFileConverter

A handy context menu script to convert image and video files in linux Mint.

Features:

• Convert videos to use H265 codec and NVENC to mp4,mkv or webm.

• Covert common image files to jpg,png or gif.

• Rotate left or right: videos and images.

• Resize images

• Convert to mp4 using normal AVC codec for compatibility/web use.

REQUERIMENTS:

• For NVENC to work, you need an Nvidia GPU and proprietary drivers installed. Older cards than 10XX series may not work. Check if your card can encode video using nvenc.

• FFmpeg (with NVENC support if using H265 NVENC options) click here to see the guide

and you should see:

V....D av1_nvenc            NVIDIA NVENC av1 encoder (codec av1)
V....D h264_nvenc           NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V....D hevc_nvenc           NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder (codec hevc)

• Zenity sudo apt install zenity

INSTALLATION:

1- Download "fileconverter" and "fileconverter.nemo_action" from this repo.

2- Put "fileconverter" in ~/.local/bin and give it execution permissions.

3- Put "fileconverter.nemo_action" in ~/.local/share/nemo/actions

4- Edit "fileconverter.nemo_action" and use the ⚠️ FULL path to the "fileconverter" script.

With time I will make a more user friendly installer and maybe add more features.
