vt-enc is a bash script that simplifies the process of encoding videos with FFmpeg using Apple's VideoToolbox framework on macOS. It provides an easy-to-use command-line interface for encoding videos with various options, including codec selection, quality settings, and scaling.
An alternative: https://alfg.dev/ffmpeg-commander/
Provides a web interface to generate ffmpeg commands (works on every platform).
Out of interest: What does VideoToolbox do in that context? I found nothing in the readme that would require anything else than just ffmpeg. Or is it just the compiling of a custom ffmpeg build that is VT specific?
VideoToolbox is the encoder that FFmpeg links to.
So when vt-enc only creates ffmpeg commands why is VT a dependency for the whole prpject?
